If a commit message is *that* bad a -1 (or just fixing it?) Might be worth it. However, if a commit isn't missing key info (bug id? Bp? Etc) and isn't one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic, there isn't a good reason to block the review.

I tell the committer of this guideline, just like it was told to me on
my first commits; and I agree that it sucks to give or receive a -1 for
this, but let me put it this way, how many times will you be
getting/giving a -1 to the same person for this?

If it's a first time committer you'll probably say it once, they'll
learn it, fix it and them we have all our commits conforming to our
guidelines, not such a big deal (although I agree with Miguel Angel that
this should be automated) and if it's not a first time committer he
should have known better and he deserves the -1 for not paying attention
and/or not having his dev env properly setup.
