+### Commits
+
+Commits must be prefixed with the RFC they are modifying, e.g. `RFC 0000`, and a short description of their purpose.
+For example, if I were adding this section to this RFC, my commit would be:
+
+```
+RFC 0000: Add section on commits
+```
+
+You may provide a more detailed explanation in the commit description, however this should not be done for small changes.
