Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason sent a [atch to
	Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
for that .gitconfig default length problem last month.

Perhaps something will come of that one day.

It does seem that of the 30K or so commits with "Fixes:" that
the style has standardized on the typical form below where
12 ("") is a 12 char SHA1 and ("") is the commit description

  21911 Fixes: 12 ("")
   1151 Fixes: 13 ("")
   1053 Fixes: 12 (')
    541 Fixes: 16 ("")
    325 Fixes: 10 ("")
    323 Fixes: 40
    274 Fixes:
    272 Fixes: 12 ""
    256 Fixes: 11 ("")
    217 Fixes: 14 ("")
    188 Fixes: commit 12 ("")
    181 Fixes: 8 ("")
    178 Fixes: 7 ("")
    163 Fixes: 9 ("")
     94 Fixes: 15 ("")
     51 Fixes: 12("")
     48 Fixes: 13 (')
     38 Fixes: 12
     35 Fixes: 12(')
     34 Fixes: 40 ("")
     30 Fixes: 12 (""
     28 Fixes: 17 ("")
     24 Fixes: Commit 12 ("")

So for checkpatch, maybe something like the below
would help standardize the Fixes line:
