I don't think so.

Well, I'm slowly getting tired of repeating the same crap over and over
again about how important it is to document one's changes and to write
good commit messages. The most repeated answers I'm simply putting into
canned reply templates because, well, saying it once or twice is not
enough anymore. :-\

And yeah, I see your pain. Same here, actually.

In the acronym case, I'd probably add a regex to my patch massaging
script and convert those typos automatically and be done with it.
