Fails with AWS CodeCommit repository URLs

[kodemaniak]

The plugin fails if the git repository uses a "non-standard"git URL, e.g., AWS CodeCommit URLs:

codecommit::eu-central-1://<profile>@<repository name>

I turned link generation of, but the plugin tries to parse the URL anyway:

[15:26:27] [semantic-release] » ×  Failed step "generateNotes" of plugin "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator"

The fix seems to be to check the result of the match for null and assign the empty array.

I run into the exact same error. Why was the PR with the fix closed?
