Documentation/SubmittingPatches says:

Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour.

It might be that a link is enough, but I would prefer to have an
excerpt from that, possibly with the link as reference.
