Not really sure we're talking about the same thing here.  There are
already crosstool-ng prefixes being added by git.  The mailing list is
sponsored by sourceware.org.  No one really owns it.  The unsubscribe
information is at the bottom of every message.

I wasn't complaining about the addition of "[crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng]" to
messages.  It just was apparently a point of confusion.
