            After reviewing this issue, we determined that it was low priority and unlikely to be worked on in the near future. We appreciate your input, but want to be transparent about our decision to not fix this right now.

            If not a defaults change, this should at least be an option, either to choose from presets, or be able to create our own templates for the default merge messages. Folks have different styles of commit messages, and for orgs with consistent commit message guidelines, it's annoying to have Bitbucket's automatic comments go against the grain.

            How can we get attention to this issue? It is very old. Should we create a new issue and close this one to get attention?
