I think we traditionally do imports as-is, including the commit
message, to vendor[-sys]/ area.  This is mainly to make future
cross-referencing easy, i.e. what does that "MFV 275551" reference to
an Illumos commit?  Should Illumos change to a different SCM in the
future, we will still be able to find the commit by looking up the
commit logs of theirs.

However when merging to head/ we should use FreeBSD style commit (i.e.
your commit messages) to give more information about the change.
Normally we will reference the vendor import revision and Illumos
ticket as well.

Cheers,
