While I appreciate the benefits of a good joke, it might make sense to avoid obfuscating the real content of the message when doing so. It seems like there are a few basic questions that need to be answered for new committers: (1) Who will their mentor be (2) What will they be doing (3) What kind of committer are they (ports, src, ...) This commit message failed to explicitly answer (1) and (2), and (3) was not clearly represented. I'd really appreciate it if future access commit messages could attempt to be explicit on these three points, and relegate the obligatory joke to being a secondary function of the message.
