Enable Review of Commit messages and titles
Problem to solve
As a Senior developer working with helping Junior developers, I want to be able to review and comment on commit messages and titles as well as their code and documentation.
This can be simple stuff like absent Signed-Off-By tags, or absent newline between title and body.
Intended users
Reviewers and developers in shared projects where there are certain standards on commit messages and titles.
User experience goal
A smooth way to at least comment on the text of a commit message, and in the future maybe even apply such changes to the commit message directly.
When reviewing a Merge Request, we want to be able to proof read & comment on the individual commit messages in order to make code history legible and useful for more people.
Proposal
Make it possible to open comments on the commit messages.

Permissions and Security
Same permissions would be required as for the MR review, requirements that no open threads on commit messages might be required as well. Tracking staleness of comments may probably use the same infrastructure as that which tracks changes to code.
