I guess I'm OK with having stricter policies for commits, but then I'd
like to have stricter policies not just for docs. Also testing, when
it makes sense (which is hard for GUI oriented fixes, I know), forcing
people to push unrelated changes in different commits (applying common
sense as necessary, of course), reminding people again to have a
complete, informative first-line summary in commits, etc.

Yes, most of these things are not release blockers. That shouldn't
stop us from trying to enforce them, to a point.

I don't doubt that will be the case.
