With the change from #622, a very common filename .gitkeep was omitted from the list of valid filenames.
Would you please consider adding the filename .gitkeep to the list at https://github.com/MetRonnie/towncrier/blob/9b685033b22bd3ee1bd81955a333e0e20bef02e6/src/towncrier/_builder.py#L117?
I would be happy to submit a PR to save myself several hours of work to modify our repositories in the Plone organization alone.
Thank you for your consideration.
