This is very true - people should subscribe to source-changes@openbsd.org
if they want to see some very good examples of bad commit messages:

"fix"

"better"

"oops"

etc. Along with the lack of attribution for changes in many cases (i.e.
which have in fact come from FreeBSD) it makes it hard to know which
commits are potentially relevant for FreeBSD :-(
