Maybe specify that the description should use the imperative mood.

I like it, but that gets a little trickier and starts leaking into other docs:

  • Commit message formatting requirements are in CONTRIBUTING.md and belong there, IMO. This doc should just link to that section (except for metadata format, since that's Collaborator-specific).
  • The CONTRIBUTING.md should include the imperative mood requirement. I don't think it does right now. So it will need to be updated too.
  • There may be some discussion around whether using the term imperative mood will be well-understood or is completely accurate. We may want to go with something more like "should start with a present-tense verb". Not sure but there seems to be a risk of bike-shedding.

For those reasons, if it's OK with you, I'd prefer to make the whole adjusting-the-requirements-for-the-commit-message thing be a separate pull request. (Feel free to open it yourself if you wish!)

I agree but in this case I would argue that the whole sentence ("The first line should not exceed 50 characters.") belongs to CONTRIBUTING.md.

That said, I'm totally fine with this as is, it's really nitpicking :)
