>From Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst: Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz" instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change its behaviour. Documentation/process/maintainer-tip.rst and Documentation/process/maintainer-kvm-x86.rst elaborate more on the preferred style (I do most of the guest_memfd maintenance, and so for all intents and purpose it's bound by KVM x86 "rules").
