Technically, the summary line of the commit being discussed is:

preparing for further changes/cleanup to developers/contributors docs


Many projects using Git have a convention that the commit summary is
an imperative phrase:

Prepare for further changes/cleanup to developers/contributors docs

This way, commit summaries are useful as a rebase TODO list and they
work well with the default merge commit message.


Also, the subject line of this discussion should have been:

Re: preparing for further changes/cleanup to developers/contributors docs

as if the commit were an email sent to a patches list.
