This is how it should be if you don’t add new features (as you said), but fix bugs. You have to explain what you did so other people understand without asking you, just by looking at the commit message.

Many people do commit messages wrong and include way less information than they should have. Suckless apps are a prime example of how development should be, although I don’t use most of them because they lack the features I want, ironically. I used dmenu extensively in the past but replaced it by rofi. I used st but apparently Konsole is also fine for my use now, as I don’t remember what made me use st in the first place.
