Your question has broader implications. Currently commit messages do
not reference the conversations that led to them and a great many use
entirely different descriptions on-list and in the commit message, nor
are entries added to conversations to reflect commits.
I share your pain in not being able to follow or remember what led to
many of them. In fact, I'm pretty sure more than a few commits have no
public discussion at all, though mostly there is good discussion.
I'm happy to follow any agreed process we lay out.
