That's way to few for a meaningful summary of the commit. I normally
need at least 70, sometimes more.

There's no such practice. Committers are requested to come up with a
summary line, and use the ChangeLog entry below that, as a separate
paragraph. The ChangeLog entry can serve as the summary line only if
it's a single line, and there's nothing to be said except what that
one line does.
