I use the following lines in my .vimrc to highlight trailing whitespace:

hi link localWhitespaceError Error
au Syntax * syn match localWhitespaceError /\(\zs\%#\|\s\)\+$/ display
au Syntax * syn match localWhitespaceError / \+\ze\t/ display

I also have a macro to add stable tags and which commit IDs introduced
the issue the bug fixes:

iab backporthis
\<CR>Fixes: commitID ("commitDescription")
\<CR>Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # kernelVersion

Then when I'm amending someone's commit to add my Signed-off-by line, I
type backporthis, and vim expands it to the longer version.  (I've
deliberately misspelled it here, so it doesn't get expanded.) Sometimes
it takes a couple of round of `git blame` to figure out when the bug was
introduced.
