Thanks for the good intention, but what I'm really getting at is that
PRs for our projects should already contain a good commit message
(cf. advice given in the follow-up posts); suggestions, discussions,
etc. must be directed elsewhere (ML or JIRA).
[In particular, having to modify the commit message is a burden when
the change is trivial; in that case, I would rather make the change and
discard the PR...]
