 "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."

Also, do not talk about what your patch does - that should hopefully be
visible in the diff itself. Rather, talk about *why* you're doing what
you're doing.

Just a reminder.
