I assume it's from "Numbskull".
To me it seems like the people who created the fork may literally not have any known means of judging engineering merit aside from how detailed commit messages are.
If it's a large group then detailed commit messages are critical. If it's likely that between 0-1 people are actually going to read the message in the next month and there are a long list of other plans you have to implement with between 0 and 1 people actually helping you, then the value of more detail in commit messages moves toward the limit of 0.
