More importantly, the correct way is the way that is currently being used.
If the project uses past tense, use it. If you want to change the convention, that's okay too, but everyone has to change.
It's exactly the same issue as coding style. If you can look at code or commit messages and figure out who wrote it based purely on style/formatting, you're doing it wrong (or rather: the person using the inconsistent style/format is).
