Again:
git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process/
This leads you to:
"Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour."
Documentation is there for a reason.
IOW, writing 'This patch does ....' is not the proper way for writing a
changelog. It's entirely clear that this is a patch. No need to mention
it. Imperative mood means something like this:
Replace the verbose license text with the matching SPDX license identifier.
Thanks,
