Not necessarily - that's what you said. I massage commit messages because they
need some touch ups sometimes.

In your case I rewrote the sentence with "we" because "we" is ambiguous in
commit messages. I also broke up this biggish paragraph into smaller chunks to
make it more readable.

I look at it this way: I don't always agree with other maintainers' choices
either but this is the reality: every maintainer has their own
requirements/views/etc on how the code and commit messages are going to look,
yadda yadda. And to some extent that's their prerogative.

But we have a *lot* *bigger* fish to fry so I'm going to stop debating here as
everything was already said.

Thx.
