I'm a big fan of problem/solution format.

I.e. something like _"problem: suboptimal routing for upstreams in different datacenters; solution: additional role to separate primary and secondary upstreams"_.

Also I consider commit message as a message to someone who would deal with that piece of code maybe years from now. And he would wonder why these lines even exist, and if he can replace them with some new logic.
