I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but will this GLEP update or replace this
existing Wiki article on using git w/ Gentoo?:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_git_workflow

Some of the step-by-step bits in the above Wiki page look like good candidates
to be integrated into the GLEP.  It also contains guidelines on writing commit
messages, such as limiting the first line to ~50 characters, an optional body
wrapped at 75 chars/line, and including the usual git tags for sign-off and
such.  Though, I like the explicitness of the GLEP's text on a few things more.
