The way to add the commit message to the patch you're sending is to
create a commit in your repository with the commit message and then
convert that commit to a patch with `git format-patch'.  When you send
the patch, the commit message can then be reviewed along with the code
change.

The contributing page that I linked to before
(<https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html>) has some information on
the expected commit message format and on using format-patch.
