    committers-guide: Increase subject length limit to 67 characters
    
    I originally suggested a 63-character limit "so that git log --oneline
    avoids wrapping."  Short hashes in the tree are typically 12 characters,
    and a space between the hash and the subject should result in a limit
    of 67 characters.  I think I arrived at 63 by subtracting git's typical
    4-space indentation from 67, but that indent is not applicable to
    `git log --oneline`.
