That's a great list to narrow down the choices, thanks for that. I think, emojis can be well used as a graphical way of tagging or categorizing. Not as replacement for github labels, but rather start the commit message with a single emoji to give an idea what it is about.

This way you could sort raw release logs which consist only of commit messages by text and have everything grouped that belongs together.

But I have to see this done in wild to know if it actually works :) I just had some ideas about it while reading your post.

Thank you. I'm totally agree with prefixing emojis in commit messages. I, myself, use emojis and the beginning of issue/pull requests, too.
