I'm not sure what other format you have in mind which would have
better content.
FWIW, I think an ideal commit message should look like:
<location-summary> <change-summary>
<explanation-if-needed>
<bug-nb-if-applicable>
<changelog-style details>
In most cases, the explanation will be empty because the bug-nb provides
the explanation or because the explanation can be placed in the code
instead (a better choice, when applicable).
