I don't know what you asked Joe to change, but asking someone to use the documented canonical patch format: The canonical patch subject line is: Subject: [PATCH 001/123] subsystem: summary phrase should be fine. And there is no need for printf-ish templates for this in MAINTAINERS either. --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code ***
