You may also want remove the [ ] and use '--' instead:

Because if someone were to do a b4 pull it would strip out the text within
the brackets. Using -- DO NOT APPLY!!! -- instead, would keep it in the
commit message. And then seeing that in the shortlog would be a really big
red flag ;-)

Small correction -- it's git itself that strips all content inside [], not b4
specifically.
