chore: backoff from using commitlint

[ofrobots]

• unwelcoming for new contributors
• doesn't cover the case where the commits are adjusted/squashed at landing time on GitHub

LGTM. Thanks for this :) For maintainers, is there a simple way to update commit messages as we wish?

Commit messages can be edited at landing time in the GitHub UI when using the 'squash and merge' button.

Sorry to read commitlint did not match your use case. Paul Irish recently started work on https://github.com/paulirish/commitlintbot. Have not tried it myself but it looks as if this could solve the Squash/Merge problem.

Edit: I am collecting ideas on how to improve the contributor experience over at https://github.com/marionebl/commitlint/issues/94. Feedback there would be greatly appreciated.
