I might have read it.  I'm not saying good commit messages are
impossible without the summarizing list; I'm just saying it's a good
thing to have, something I've grown accustomed to.  When composing them,
they're a good exercise in self-review.  But of course there's more ways
to skin a cat.  This just happens to be the way we use here.

It's not "for fun".  Of course is a mental cost in composing them,
especially if you don't do it often and use the friendly C-x 4 a
shortcut.  But there is a gain, too.
