Remove author as this info is not important

Removing the author will give more space for the actual commit message title

It's important to me -- it would be better to make it configurable (we already have the options but they are only used by the console command, not the plugin).

I think we'd need to add some config to composer.json

I saw in the readme the 2 parameters but how do I configure the plugin system wide as I have it installed in global scope?

I don't think this is possible currently. The solution would probably be to have:

"extra": {
    "what_changed": {
         // config here
     }
}

in composer.json (which is in ~/.composer/comoser.json) globally.

(note that currently the plugin doesn't use github auth (#8) - so you will likely hit the Github API limit if you do lots of composer updates)
