I don't follow; why do we need 'Applies' ?  Why do we need a
'namespace'.  Are these things the user would need to manually know and
enter themselves in their commit messages?

If so, that's adding rather than reducing friction, and I'm not sure
it'd gain much traction.  The way I see it, it needs to happen
automatically.
