Sorry for little late.

Can we add Severity level of patch? with only three levels as (High, Moderate, Low)

Many of our customers might not understand overall important of patch. 
If we add this people/customers can choose patch is important for them or not.
Other than Author and hackers can not easily understand overall importance of patch.

Please consider if you feel it is important to add this parameter in commit message format.

I can see this as being a nice thing but knowing that someone is a
contributor isn't hard. There is a contributor list on the website and it is
obvious from mail lists, archives and simple searches who is actually
participating.

This page would need a refresh IMO. I think it has not been touched
for the last couple of years.

 No doubt but if we can't bother to keep that refreshed what makes us think that a structured format in commit messages that magically (through a lot of hard work and extra parsing anyway) is going to be any more accurate?

Sincerely,

JD
