It just brings in some consistency.. just as there are rules for other
parts in the commit message. It also makes commit messages easily parseable
(if ever needed) for links.

I have used that style in Org commits many times, and it's kind of become a
second nature, so not very difficult to remember if doing that is added as
a guideline to CONTRIBUTE in the "** Commit messages" section. Also, the
"remembering issue" applies to everything else in that same section too :)

But in any case, I thought of bringing this up as I saw that there were no
guidelines on how to put links in commit messages.
