I'm sure that these key bindings are familiar to you and probably to a
lot of people, but I wasn't aware of them. I imagine there might be
other people who aren't aware of them as well. The commit message is an
opportunity for you to explain both what your patch does and argue why
it's valuable.

It's also rather uncommon for commit messages in this project to lack a
body; we typically prefer to say at least a few sentences about why
we've chosen to make a change, even preferring to perhaps state some of
the more obvious things just for clarity's sake to assist other people
(and future us) in understanding what's going on.

This isn't me trying to be difficult, but rather to help you get your
patch in a state that's most likely to be accepted. It's common here to
do a couple of revisions of a patch, incorporating reviewers' comments
and polishing along the way.
