%99 of a bug fix is the process and means by which the bug was found,
therefore the "how was it found" is at least as important as how it is
fixed.

If the script in the commit bothers you, nobody forces you to read it
or use it.

If you want more clear markers around the script so you can skim
past it more efficiently when reading the commit message, then ask
for that.
