I too have never thought it worth mentioning, similar to capitalizing the first word of the first line of the commit message or not. I thought any way works, as long as the first line is brief so it shows up nicely browsing on github.

Personally, I treat the first line like you mention the subject line of an email, which I never capitalize or use a period at the end.
