    <thetext>Update commit message template to request a brief explanation of why a PR fixes the bug.

It&apos;s always easiest to explain what a patch does, but when reviewing a patch or looking at a previously committed patch, the most useful information that a commit message could contain is why (or how) the changes in the patch actually fix the bug.

Most folks already do this, so this just formalizes a placeholder for it.</thetext>
