Please include human readable descriptions of things like commits and
issues being discussed in e-mail in your mails, this makes them much
easier for humans to read especially when they have no internet access.
I do frequently catch up on my mail on flights or while otherwise
travelling so this is even more pressing for me than just being about
making things a bit easier to read.

Please also use longer hashes - the kernel repository is big enough that
we do actually have a few collisons on shorter hash lengths IIRC.  The
standard thing is 12 characthers (you can set core.abbrev to 12 to help
with this).
