FWIW, I sent a patch for this a couple of months ago:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250627-send-presubject-v1-1-f8e11fda1543@bootlin.com

Still applies on master as of today and has been working for me.

The issue in patching the --set-prefixes command is that when it comes to make the cover, the LoreSubject class is parsing all the [foo] in its title, considers them as standard prefixes and moves them into the PATCH bracket.

I suggested a new patch which includes Antonin's with a second patch to cover the sendreceive part.

I think this is the best solution, though there might also need a --postsubject to set some [] prefixes after the [PATCH ...]

However, it would be very nice to have this merged as it's block the usage of b4 on several projects (almost any yocto sublayers in my case).

Unfortunately I have no solution to test that myself

Add support for setting a presubject

Some mailing lists require a prefix to come before the [PATCH] in the
subject of emails, such as OpenEmbedded or libgpiod. The current prefix
mechanism does not allow for that (only after PATCH), and setting the
format.subjectPrefix Git option does not work either.

Add a new configuration option send-presubject as well as a
--set-presubject argument to be able to include anything that should
come before the subject. The logic behind prefixes is not changed and
this new option does not break any existing prefix assignments.

In order not to break the logic in LoreSubject's __init__ function,
which parses the subject line and strips brackets in order to reorganize
the subject line later, the presubject must be enclosed with brackets
too (_check_presubject() is used to ensure that).

Please note that the issue won't be fixed unless the server side is updateded.
So far, this raises an error:

Error from endpoint: This service only accepts patches
