  Address structural issue with code contributions
  
  In some cases, it's possible to end up with commit messages that carry
  very little value. Unfortunately, while the minimum is clearly
  insufficient, it is possible to "expand" the minimum into a specific
  format without substantially improving the quality of the commit
  message. For example, a substantial refactor can easily just be
  described as a list of the changes that it included, rather than a
  rationale for why it was done (which is not readily apparent from the
  change itself).
  
  In the long run, problems involving people can be improved by process,
  but cannot wholly be solved by them. Pernicious failures need to be
  acted upon directly. Demonstrating the value of good commit messages is
  often a better driver of improvements than a template that is a chore
  to fill out.
