The commit description should include not only _what_ is being done but
also _why_.

Here's from Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:

 Describe your problem.  Whether your patch is a one-line bug fix or
 5000 lines of a new feature, there must be an underlying problem that
 motivated you to do this work.  Convince the reviewer that there is a
 problem worth fixing and that it makes sense for them to read past the
 first paragraph.

Just describing _what_ is being done doesn't do anything to convince
a reviewer that the patch is worth applying.

Thanks.
