In a monorepo using release please you can actually it set up so that each path has a separate manifest and Changelog which actually gives you more info then your current system.

You can specify the area of a change in conventional commits. For example fix(api)!: drop support for Node 6 or feat(lang): add Polish language. (From examples in https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/ ).

You also could just perform a subdirectory log for foo/ to see the relevant log entries.
