FWIW, there's also an MDN page that documents a lot of this as well:

Hi,
someone might not know that doing checkins for checkin-needed request is
not automated yet and completely a fully human task :) (no we Sheriffs are
not bots ;)
It would help us a lot if a checkin needed request would contain complete
Author/Patch information like:
- Author (use the information from their Bugzilla account if needed)
with Name *and *Emailadress.
- Bug number
- Commit message (keeping in mind that the commit message should be a
brief description of what the patch is *doing*)
- Format should be something like "Bug 123456 - Add a null check to
XYZ to avoid a crash. r=somebody"
And also if there is a specific sequence/dependency you want to checkin the
patches it would help also a lot if you could make a short comment in the
Bug like please checkin part x then patch y or like first bug 123 then this
bug and then bug 8910.
This would help us a lot :)
Thanks!
