Hello,

I have noticed an ongoing pattern of carelessness around issues/PR titles and
descriptions. It is really painful to see more and more examples like:

BEAM-12160 Add TODO for fixing the warning
BEAM-12165 Fix ParquetIO
BEAM-12173 avoid intermediate conversion (PR) and BEAM-12173 use
toMinutes (commit)

In all these cases with just a bit of detail in the title it would be enough to
make other contributors or reviewers life easierm as well as to have a better
project history.  What astonishes me apart of the lack of care is that some of
those are from Beam commmitters.

We already have discussed about not paying attention during commit merges where
some PRs end up merging tons of 'unwanted' fixup commits, and nothing has
changed so I am wondering if we should maybe just totally remove that rule (for
commits) and also eventually for titles and descriptions.
