Personally I find it very hard to review a patch without understanding
its goal, that's why I'd wait for the repost with the log msg. If you
want to review it as is, of course that's great!

I think asking for a repost w/ log msg hardly counts as "onerous" or
setting the bar too high. It should be (literally) 30 seconds or
less, assuming the submitter has all the data.
