Andrew's question seemed to be about the message-ID. I agree the
topic thing is confusing, though. I'm wondering if it would be
sufficient to do the following - if no topic are available, instead of
showing the form, it says something like:

No topics have been created for this CommitFest yet. Before adding
your patch, you must add one or more items to the <link>topic
list</link>.
