Description
(See GvR's messages 363691 and 363740 on 2020 March 9 for https://bugs.python.org/issue39852.)
https://devguide.python.org/pullrequest/#making-good-commits has this descriptive example:
bpo-42: the spam module is now more spammy (GH-NNNN)
Guido strongly prefers the prevailing imperative style and would have that read
bpo-42: make the spam module more spammy (GH-NNNN)
Possibly split the following paragraph into two and after "... what the purpose of the commit is." add something like
"The imperative form is strongly preferred to a descriptive form such as 'the spam module is now more spammy'. Use git log --oneline
to see existing title lines."
