Not particularly on topic, but: including a patch version number in your subject headings is pretty unfriendly IMO, because it breaks threading for people whose MUAs do threading by matching up subject lines.
I don't actually see the point of the [PATCH] annotation at all, because the thread is soon going to contain lots of messages with the same subject line but no embedded patch. Like this one. So it's just noise with no information content worth noticing. regards, tom lane
