    Description

      Currently we have, for example:

      where new contributors are confronted with the sanity bot's error message and may feel a bit lost. As a reviewer, I have extra work explaining them how to fix the message.

      The bot could already contain some hints or provide a link to a website with more explanations.

      E.g.: for "2nd line not empty":

      Patch summary in one short line followed by an empty line
      
      Detailed patch description follows separated by an empty line.
      This can stretch multiple lines and often contains [ChangeLog]
      entries.

      or "URL pointing to Gerrit or JIRA":

      Patch summary in one short line
      
      Please do not use links to JIRA in commit messages. The bug is 
      referenced by a "Task-number" line at the commit message bottom, 
      directly above the Change-Id line:
      
      Task-number: QTBUG-12345
      Change-Id: xyz
