I've written up a short guide in Nova's HACKING.rst on how to write useful commit messages: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/9118/. The driving factor here is the amount of time I've personally spent coaching people through the process of composing a commit message. I believe we would all benefit from writing better commit messages, so I'm taking the first step by getting a common guide written up. All feedback is appreciated!
