Automatically generate release notes from conventional commit messages when creating a new tag

[HunterNN]

Currently, creating a new tag in the repository triggers the automatic creation of a new GitHub release. However, the release description is currently empty. To improve transparency and provide better context for each release, it would be beneficial to automatically generate the release notes from the conventional commit messages that were used to create the tag. This will allow users to easily understand what changes are included in each release.

A possible implementation could be done here:

I'm assuming that the portion of the text before the colon indicates the scope. It might be beneficial to create a list of possible scopes for reusability. We could start with an initial list and then add new ones to it as new scopes become necessary.
