Post 9.0.0 Quality of Life Improvements

[janl]

Heya, now that 9.0.0 is out of the way, I’d like to propose a number of quality of life improvements made. Please assign yourself if you like to tackle them.

• rename master to main to adjust with the new reality. I keep finding my muscle memory getting in the way :) (Assignee: @janl)
• test: don’t run full test suite when changes were only made to the documentation
• commits: start using and enforce semantic-release-style commit messages. This will unify our change log and help auto generate release notes. This reduces the time we need to spend making actual releases. I’m not suggesting we start using semantic-release for the project, just take the structured commit messages from this. It’d be great if we had a git commit hook and PR action to auto-lint commit messages, so folks have an easier time with this.

What other quality-of-life improvements would you like to see?

I'd like this one finished: #8734

That would solve the regular issues about the SSL cert expiring as well as making the hosting community supported which makes it more sustainable.

I would love to see some improvements in GHA:

• Flaky tests
• Looks like tests are being run twice (by push and pull request)

Also we should add the mastodon link to the website

I can do:

• Mastodon link in website
• Tests running twice
• test: don’t run full test suite when changes were only made to the documentation

I'd like to see @next versions for our packages, reflecting the state of the master / main branch.
PouchDB packages published on jsr would be nice. (GH workflow integration seems to be easy: https://youtu.be/nl4B1asyMdI?t=2055)

Move, update end export types from pouchdb-XXX instead of @types/pouchdb-XXX
(I personally prefer JS-Doc ... but that requires a lot more work and should be revised after the migration, if considered at all)
