Every time it's omitted, it makes me feel a little sad. I've ranted on this before so I'll try to be short today ;) I know that the job of core committers is already hard. To try to address that and promote the use of more consistent commit messages I propose this change to the bluebeach theme: http://drupal.org/node/98165 The idea is to provide a little line at the bottom of every issue that contains the template of the commit message. This will reduce the time that commiters spend typing up the message and will help promote the use of the template by contrib maintainers (few of whom are aware of the standard). Reviews and criticisms welcome. And if it does get committed I'd appreciate getting credit ;) Regards, Greg
