I think this would be a nice thing to adopt.

Hmm, interesting! Yeah, we have to make our commits more meaningful for outside contributors. Can you list the advantages of adopting this system?

[patrickblackjr]

• It would make commits more meaningful to outside contributors (like you said).
• Good practice that allows more thoughtful commits and encourages better explanation when submitting PRs and commits.
• You can automatically generate changelogs based on commits using something like this.
• You could post the updates to reddit automatically, or anywhere else.

Tools like this and this would be neat and useful.
