Either I'm misunderstanding your problem or you're using Gbp-Pq
incorrectly. "Gbp-Pq: ...' is of no use when you're on the master branch
branch, it's only meaningful on the pq branch.
The manpage has:
When exporting patches from a patch-queue branch, gbp pq will look at
the patch header for special tags it recognizes. All tags need to
start at the first column and require at least one whitespace
after the colon.
So "Gbp-Pq: Topic" is only useful when on the pq branch not on master
since all the information is encoded in the patch's header and
path when on master.
For the misc subdir it's the same but you can use
gbp pq import --topic ...
to set the topic when adding a single patch.
Please let me know if I'm misreading your problem.
Cheers,
