> And there is no 'Fixes:' tag format checker in checkpatch

I have taken another look at corresponding implementation details.
Will programming challenges get any more attention?


> to check the commit id length too,

The mentioned script contains the following information.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/scripts/checkpatch.pl?id=b240f960afb900e59112ebcfa5a759bb0a85a14e#n2818

# Check for git id commit length and improperly formed commit descriptions


> so let's add dedicated checker to check these conditions for 'Fixes:' tag.

How do you think about to reconsider the usage of the word “checker”
at specific places?


> +		    my $id = '0123456789ab';
> +		    my $orig_desc = "commit description";

* Do you try to extend the existing software analysis approach “GIT_COMMIT_ID”?

* Would you like to avoid the development of duplicate Perl code?

Regards,
Markus
