Addition of "[powerpc]" if it was absent can be scripted.

However, the retaining of "[powerpc]" (etc) while not retaining "[rfc]"
(etc) is not practical.

Plus putting things into git with "[powerpc]" in the title is wrong. 
The chances are good that anyone who is taking such a patch off the
git-commits list (say, for a backport) will lose that part of the
title.  It should be "powerpc: "
