Disclaimer: I wasn't in the session (due to conflicting interesting sessions)
so I might be raising points/questions already answered.

Is this really lowering the bar for new contributors?  I've always held "be
liberal in what you accept" as a gold standard for projects I'm involved in, to
remove barriers to entry.  Good commit messages are obviously very important,
but having your patch rejected (yes, I know, failing to apply) might not be
strongest motivator for achieving this.
