After checking the 10000 most recent commits, I have the following stats
on invalid commit messages:

138 klausman@g.o
99 slyfox@g.o
61 leio@g.o
20 dilfridge@g.o
18 monsieurp@g.o
15 pacho@g.o
15 whissi@g.o
13 alicef@g.o
12 floppym@g.o
12 xmw@g.o
12 jer@g.o
11 axs@g.o
11 amynka@g.o
10 polynomial-c@g.o
...

Most of the violations are uses of Gentoo-Bug and very long single-line
commit messages; most likely people using '-m "very long message because
I am lazy and can't use editor properly"'.

Full list of violations in the sample:
