tools: git hooks: drop "submitted by" from commit template

[kevans]

Summary

With the switch to git, we should strive to properly attribute every
commit appropriately with the metadata that's provided to do so. In this
case, the submitter should be recorded via the author metadata. Committing
an arbitrary patch, one can set it as such:

git commit --author="John Smith <[e-mail]>"

perhaps we should include git commit --author in the template, something like "should be set appropriately, using git commit --author... if someone"?

Yes. this is an obscure edge case for git usage for most people....

Explicitly reference git commit --author

why the \ quotes on the single back-tick quotes? Why not single, forward ticks?

I'm indifferent, just used to styling commands with backticks which aren't directly usable without escape in this context. No objection to using some other stylization.

I've become comfortable with backticks for commands via markdown and they seem fine in plain text too.

So... change it, or leave it?

I'd leave it as you have it now
