[kura-dev] Requirements for commit messages

[Jens Reimann <jreimann@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to change the following bullet point in the CONTRIBUTING.md file:

---
* Use descriptive and meaningful commit messages
---

To:

---

* Provide descriptive and meaningful commit messages

  * Let the first line of the commit message be no longer than 50 characters, reference an issue using #123 if relevant

  * Provide a descriptive detail message, referencing additional issues, providing some insight of what you change and what you expect from your change, limit those lines to 72 characters

  * Always provide a descriptive detail, unless your code change is really, really, really simple and self explanatory

---

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Jens
