Currently I achieve this by adding "[type]" to the end of my commit messages.
But of course that's less than optimal.

Why is that less than optimal? It seems a lot less intrusive than what
you suggest.

Because it becomes formalized. Which means people can write tools other people
can use to work with them.

Having the type embedded in commit message not only clutters up the commit
messages, but different people would do it differently, using different brackets
or putting it the start or the end of the message, etc. 

And of course it would be easier to ask git to list certain types of commits if
it knew about them.
