 Description   

Commit message validation is run as one of the first tasks once a patch has reached the front of the commit queue. It'd be nice if it ran at some point earlier to avoid waiting in a long queue just to realize the commit message was slightly off; perhaps it can be run when the patch is being created from the CLI, or when a patch first enters the commit queue

While I agree this would be a nice to have I am not sure how we would do this without some sneaky new API from evergreen. It is impossible to tell a specific task it can run at any point in the commit queue and have the rest of the tasks wait until the end. 

Since the change is not hugely impactful I am going to close this for now but if evergreen added such an API we could be open to considering this task.

Discussed in Evergreen Triage: Server owns this task, but can look into increasing its priority or running it as a required check for the PR instead.
