Typos and spacing issues in commit message.

It's inefficient to loop for this.
I think what I suggested is neater,
but what you're doing is OK.

Your email subject line should be more like:

[PATCH] checkpatch: More signature format verification

And when you revise patches, use some version number
in the [PATCH] block like:

[PATCH v2] checkpatch: etc...
