Hi, I’m the author of JuliaRegisterChangelog, where I wanted to accomplish a similar thing as Release Please. I leave my post here

I also wanted this automation to include a changelog based on conventions like Conventional Commits. For this reason I created [GitHub - alex180500/JuliaRegisterChangelog: Automatic changelog and registering of a Julia package using Conventional Commits and JuliaRegistrator](https://github.com/alex180500/JuliaRegisterChangelog).

My workflow works in the following way:

- On every new commit triggers only if `Project.toml` has been modified
