In the following screenshot, you can see one doesn't even know what that commit

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.
