It was discussed at kernel summit, and I believe the resulting format was only published in one of the kernel summit mailing lists. The outcome of it as I understand was that the format is: Fixes: ("") Though the addition of the quotes was (iirc) only something added after the vocal discussion. If you mail Linus a patch with a fixes line which doesn't match that, Linus will probably fix it up... (Linus has done that with one of mine in the past.)
