Sometimes, maybe.  I don't really think about it too much.  I'm not
the only one who does it.  But what bearing does what we put in
the subject of our patch submissions have on this discussion?

even be better/more streamlined, I don't know.  That doesn't mean
our tooling should make things more difficult for the the rest of us.
