Another throwaway thought:

Taking the time to redesign commit format (e.g. use user.id instead of
user.name/user.email) also gives us room to improve other things we
don't like about the commit format (e.g. limited to single author). How
many things-we-don't-like do we need to collect before we have enough
inertia to go through the long/painful process of starting to use a new
commit format?
