-1, We probably want to recommend a git commit message more stronger
formatted mainly about the first line which is the most important. It
should reflect which part of the code the commit is attended to update
that gives the ability for contributors to quickly see on what the
submission is related;

An example with Nova which is quite big: api, compute,
  doc, scheduler, virt, vmware, libvirt, objects...

We should to use a prefix in the first line of commit message. There
is a large number of commits waiting for reviews, that can help
contributors with a knowledge in a particular domain to identify
quickly which one to pick.
