EditLocal.rst only said "write a short, meaningful commit message."
Document the actual convention: [TASK]/[BUGFIX]/[FEATURE] prefix, a
why-focused body, Signed-off-by/Assisted-by trailers, references to
related changelog entries/Gerrit changes/issues, and how Releases:
lines relate to automatic backporting. Also refreshed the Releases:
examples in BackportChanges.rst and ReviewPolicy.rst from 12.4/11.5
to 14.3/13.4.

Verified with the full Docker render pipeline.

Why not just following conventional commit messages format?

https://www.conventionalcommits.org/

It seems commonly accepted and known, you do not need to describe it here, except saying "conventional commits required"

We follow the conventions from the TYPO3 Core, also the conventions you linked do not have rules about AI usage, while TYPO3 adopted them and also no rules about backports.
