Thanks for another contribution.

* Under which circumstances would you take the usage of imperative mood
  better into account for an improved change description?
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.19-rc5#n94

* Can it be helpful to append parentheses to function names
  (also in the summary phrase)?
