That the fact that you see issues (in these particular cases) while
others do not indicates that the commit summary could be explained
better.

A good commit summary should provide enough information to do that and
make people _want_ the patch. From my limited experience through your
patches (just skimmed a few) you seems to be describing what the patch
does as opposed to why it does it and why should one find it
interesting/wanted.

You might want to read through the following [1] [2] and many others
that exist out there.
