In nodejs/node#42934, I was trying to revert nodejs/node#27371, so git revert automatically created this commit title for me:
Revert "bootstrap: delay the instantiation of maps in per-context scripts"
which has 74 characters. Since it exceeds our maximum limit of 72 characters, the commit message linter failed on CI - https://github.com/nodejs/node/runs/6248053065?check_suite_focus=true#step:6:15

As a workaround, I had to change the commit title to
bootstrap: stop delaying instantiation of maps in per-context scripts
which has 69 characters (< 72) but it isn't satisfying anymore. :/
Instead of failing, IMO the linter should accept standard revert commit titles regardless of the size.
