* Ensure PR title length is 75 characters or fewer, including whichever
`subsystem` term is used.
* Ensure the PR body line length is 72 characters or fewer.
* Ensure the PR body line length is 150 characters or fewer.
The body of the message is **not** a continuation of the subject line and is
not used to extend the subject line beyond its character limit. The subject
line is a complete sentence and the body is a complete, standalone paragraph.
Additionally, PR body line length is not checked for special lines:
* Lines that do not start with an alphabetic character
* Sign-off lines (as to not penalize long names)
* Lines without spaces
These should allow contributors to pass checks while including relevant
information **if needed**.
