No one suggested any particular format, the only suggestion was to
relax the current requirements, AFAIR.

Stefan mention the feature of diff-mode, which IMO is very convenient
if you run it on the output of "git diff" or something similar.

It's up to us. Just to show you a random example to the contrary:
commit fbfd4787fbec11fe69f5e661e7c5ab4436f7cb72

Avoid aborting due to errors in arguments of 'set-face-attribute'
* src/xfaces.c (Finternal_set_lisp_face_attribute): Check the
FRAME argument before using it. This avoids gratuitous aborts in
Emacs built with --enable-checking when the luser was unlucky
enough to get the argument list in wrong order.
You will find quite a few similar examples in Paul's commits, for
example.
