"A group of people seem to prefer it there" does not lead to
"therefore let's move it there for everybody". It does open a
possibility that we may want to add a new option to put it there,

To clarify, my patch adds the new option you described (to place it
below the title instead of at the bottom of the commit message). The
default is still the current behavior.
