Good idea. I'm adding your idea now to my open source git commit template: https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/git-commit-template https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/git-commit-template What you're suggesting is essentially a "git trailer". A trailer can be automatically parsed by git (and related tools) and needs to be at the end of the message. The template above explains more about trailers, such as "See:" which can help documentation systems (such as a link to an issue tracker) and "Co-authored-by:" which can help social coding systems (such as a GitHub/GitLab username or email address).
