We split it out: non-ticketed changes are recorded by forcing commits with specific commit formatting that puts out a changelog at intervals. That gets you a log of changes that can be either tracked back to a ticket or are self-describing. (public examples are the Angular Commit Message Conventions or the way saltstack uses that stuff https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/.github/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/.github/blob/master/CO... - you basically enforce some rules using commitlint and record logs using semver, even if you end up not using the versioning for your software)
