That 90% covers it.  What's left is some minor framing.  I'd suggest separating 
that point into two.  The first should be recommended metadata (phab, issues 
link), and the second can be the additional metadata point.  Something like:

```
If the patch has been reviewed, add a link to its review page, as shown
  `here <https://www.llvm.org/docs/Phabricator.html#committing-a-change>`_. If 
the patch fixes a bug in GitHub Issues, we encourage adding a reference to the 
issue being closed, as described `here 
<https://llvm.org/docs/BugLifeCycle.html#resolving-closing-bugs>`_.

It is also acceptable to add other metadata to the commit message to automate 
processes, including for downstream consumers. and including links to resources 
that are not available to the entire community. However, such links and/or 
metadata should not be used in place of making the commit message 
self-explanatory.  

```
All of the above is just reorganizing what you had written with some very minor 
copy editing.  I'd separately suggest adding the following sentence at the end 
of the second bullet.

Note that such non-public links are *only* allowed in commit messages, and 
should not be included in the submitted code.
