Yeah... that is really not a good idea. You are not supposed to take this blog post seriously.

Why not just agree on some terminology like CRITICAL/MINOR/SECURITY, which a visual interface can then highlight?

    SECURITY: Fix XSS in spline reticulation

If it detects "SECURITY" it adds a red background, etc. Anyone viewing the raw text version of the commit messages will still get the message without having to see a bunch of gibberish.

And you were not supposed to take my comment seriously... I thought I made that obvious with the last sentence but oh well.
