Gabe, Commit messages are not thrown away but are instead stored in "./.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG" if rejected. Perhaps this should be explicitly stated when a commit message is rejected.
As you may already be aware, this is a result of Daniel's (relatively) new git commit message checks: https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5/+/refs/heads/master/util/git-commit-msg.py . It seems the valid arm tag is "arch-arm". You could update your commits with this tag or add submit a change adding "arm" as a valid tag in this file (to lead to further discussion). I personally prefer there being a valid set of tags to stop the constant invention of new tags to describe commits which may, in practise, be duplicates of old tags (though we can expand them as needed). I'm therefore still in support of these checks. It also helps us understand who the maintainers for a particular commits are by cross-referencing with MAINTAINERS.md (fyi: there is no maintainer for the "arm" tag).
