Perhaps standardize in the recommendations from:

The seven rules of a great Git commit message

Keep in mind: This has all been said before.

1. Separate subject from body with a blank line
2. Limit the subject line to 50 characters
3. Capitalize the subject line
4. Do not end the subject line with a period
5. Use the imperative mood in the subject line
6. Wrap the body at 72 characters
7. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how

Hello,

Andrey recently pointed out on a couple of commits that commit messages could be better. I agree with that.

Can we discuss this?

Cheers,

Wim
