This should just be part of the commit message log, generally projects
use something like TRIVIAL in the patch subject or similar. You could
also standardize for your project(s) what would be considered a minor
change. The issue is that not everyone considers these changes as
"minor". You should be able to use a combination of the --grep option
in log to search for all commits who don't contain that string in the
right format.
