I would appreciate if such a view can be reconsidered.

I got used to looking at information which can be provided there.
Thus I occasionally notice further change possibilities
also at this place.

Examples:
* Should the first word in English sentences start with a capital letter?

* Which value do you give to an imperative wording in the change description?

* Will an other word order become helpful here?

* Can it be relevant to refer to questionable error messages
instead of the mentioned function name?

I find such a suggestion for a patch subject also a bit nicer.

Will your idea be picked up for the final commit title?
