Title: #5257: git-template: add tags to help with release notes automation

To summarize I think we may stick with this idea and start playing with it. One 
thing is that some howto will be needed for sure or some example in our 
documentation. Also I am thinking if it is possible to put some automation in 
creating those files using some git hooks? We should try to avoid situation 
where we may have to bounce off community contributions due to some missing 
side data for our automation.
