As discussed in [this issue](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/4783#issuecomment-605662343), the `DOC:` prefix is now valid when writing commit message.

The [Commit Style Guide](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Style_Guide#Commits) and the [commit check](https://www.commitcheck.com) have both been updated.

For reference, here is the regex used to validate the commit title: `(BUG|COMP|DOC|ENH|PERF|STYLE)\: \w+`
