Doing a git log shows that commit messages typically follow no clear
pattern.
The same can be said for patches too.

For example
...

    Fix doctests for keep_sign = True

commit 819b28a088c3d7152291006f0b5e353966d99218

    Fixed tests for keep_sign = True

commit b8d6252ea115032f7da8c46aca60af0b6a75fd36
Author: Ronan Lamy <ronan.l...@normalesup.org>
Date:   Thu Jan 13 23:43:00 2011 +0000

    Set keep_sign = True

On inspection I do not know which subsystem this changes. I will need
to do
a git show for that but I have no interest in looking at the code as
it has already
passed review. A more helpful message would be

sympy/core: Set keep_sign = True

so atleast I know which part has changed.

I would also like to know why this was changed. If this does not fix a
bug some
lines explaining it should be necessary.
See for ex commit f88580a627eaaed2ae57ba3566d1fb668faf4306

Another thing is that tests and doctests should have been in one
single commit.

Could we also enforce the signoff?

Documentation will be easier if all the patches follow some sort of
guidelines or
semantic rules.
