Honest question, do you really expect your history to be meaningful long-term? Or are you simply taking the approach that the commit message is meaningless and a developer instead use GitHub search to find a PR relevant to a change they're investigating.
For example, I pulled up one of your projects and the history (https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/kwote/commits/main https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/kwote/commits/main) is less than meaningless, compared to i.e. using emojis as a shorthand (https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/commits/master https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/commits/master)

- tremon 4y agoThat's... horrible. You mean the entire developer's thought process behind a change will be represented by a single 12x16 picture? Even hieroglyphs were more expressive than that.
- mwt 4y ago> You mean the entire developer's thought process behind a change will be represented by a single 12x16 picture? No, look at the log of FastAPI (or even gitmoji itself: https://github.com/carloscuesta/gitmoji https://github.com/carloscuesta/gitmoji) and you'll see that i.e. the bug emoji serves *only* to replace "bugfix: " at the beginning of the commit message, not the entirety.
