I've written up a short guide in Nova's HACKING.rst on how to write useful commit messages: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/9118/.
The driving factor here is the amount of time I've personally spent coaching people through the process of composing a commit message. I believe we would all benefit from writing better commit messages, so I'm taking the first step by getting a common guide written up. All feedback is appreciated!

I like it... one possible enhancement, for visual folks like myself, would it be of any value to include and example? Or pointer to a dummy commit message in gerrit, on a wiki, or wherever? Even a template perhaps.
Just looking in gerrit on your own is fine of course too, but who knows, maybe you'll come across one that's incorrect :(
