The commit message (as described in `Documentation/SubmittingPatches`)
should explain the problem in the codebase and then describe (in imperative
mode) how the patch proposes to fix it.

Subject line is also meant to be very short so maybe somethihg like:

  docs: mention source of tasks in MyFirstContribution

mentioning bugs with quotes might be a good idea, considering that GGG
(your first link below) specifically mentions that only feature requests
should be filed there.

something that encourages people to use the mailing list for reports and
discussion probably worth adding as well.
