Christ people.

We have rules for commit messages. Those rules have things like
"one-line commit summary at the top", because without that things like
summary logs (ie "git shortlog") and "gitk" don't do a good job.

How long have we been doing this? I'm used to seeing some odd commit
messages outside the kernel repo, but am used to kernel people getting
the trivial details right.

That's not the only one. Look at commit 577cee1e8db6 for some other
cruddy commit messages. Just because somebody said "Hello" in email
doesn't mean that it should remain that way in a commit message.

So out of seven commit messages, two were badly formatted. That's not
a sign of good quality control.
