OK, what is the proposed cap on first line of commit message?

Everything I've seen suggests the first line should be a one-sentence simple summary of what's going on. The fact that github insists on cutting it off to pretty short lengths, shorter than most sentences, is a bit unfortunate.

Or concretely, what would you say one should use instead of "Being affected by id selectors should not prevent an element from being inserted in the style sharing cache" as a first line?

I also want to argue that the very "bug X - " prefix is counterproductive in 
Servo commits

If we don't propagate those servo commits as separate commits to the Gecko side, then I agree. I've just been putting the full bugzilla link in the non-first line of the commit message.
