git grep -i "this patch" Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst

"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."

IOW, don't use "This patch" to start a Changelog (lot's of your patches
here do so).
