It's standard in many other GNU projects (e.g., gnulib, coreutils), and fitswell with the common Git style for commit messages. GCC and GNU Emacsdevelopers often use this style too, now, though not always.

It's a reasonable style and glibc should allow patches that use it, if only sothat it's one less thing for occasional contributors to worry about.
