It is mentioned on our wiki but I doubt anyone reads it :)

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches#subject

Do let me know if there are other places which should have this info.

I did assume it will take at least a year or two before people get used
to the new prefix, but my patchwork script has a check for this and it's
trivial to fix the subject before I commit the patch. So hopefully the
switch goes smoothly.
