Perhaps just prohibiting them on master is enough?

I checked, and yeah, this is what happens.
I think I can change that, if you want.

While I agree that we ought to adopt a more git-ish commit style, this

processes as possible. I was leaving all non-essential change proposals
for later, to avoid complicating the switchover.
I guess if enough people +1 the idea I will do it.
