+Full details on user-defined rules: https://jorisroovers.com/gitlint/user_defined_rules
+
+The ReleaseConfigurationRule class below is an example of a user-defined ConfigurationRule. Configuration rules are
+gitlint rules that are applied once per commit and BEFORE any other rules are run. Configuration Rules are meant to
+dynamically change gitlint's configuration and/or the commit that is about to be linted. A typically use-case for this
+is modifying the behavior of gitlint's rules based on a commit contents.
+
+Notes:
+- Modifying the commit object DOES NOT modify the actual git commit message in the target repo, only gitlint's copy of
+  it.
+- Modifying the config object only has effect on the commit that is being linted, subsequent commits will not
+  automatically inherit this configuration.
