I think the messages that are not in the suggested "do action" form are somewhat more ambiguous: whitelist of un-GC'd syms - Did you implement a whitelist feature, write whitelist data, update whitelist data, work on whitelisting in general? oops, hadn't fully finished a!b ssyntax - Did you finish the syntax, or did you work around it for now? failing test for apply - Did you add the test, make the test pass? As a non-native speaker I have to wonder if this is really about past tense vs. present tense though. How should I grammatically interpret the suggested "Fix bug" as opposed to the alternative "Fixed bug"? Past: [I] fixed bug. [This] fixed bug. Present: [I] fix bug. [This] fix bug. Fix bug! Infinitive: [To] fix bug. [I want to] fix bug. [This serves to] fix bug. The suggestion may actually be towards the last option that doesn't have a tense. It's like an item in a todo list. That would make the most sense?
