20 What if we extract the information regarding writing good commit
21 messages and move it under ebuild-maintenance, possibly as a new
22 subsection or under the subsection "Git Commit Policy"?

24 I agree that the information there is valuable but a better
25 documentation is available on the git workflow wiki[1]. We can
26 alternatively insert a link to the wiki page instead or import the
27 same information. But keeping the two in sync will be problematic.
