yes, i read the SubmittingPatches again. summary is the subject line. But then as Piotr Kubus has written that he could not find this rule in the documentaion, I also tried to find that in SubmittingPatches file and also in the Posting file of the development-process folder, but could not find it. Is it mentioned in some other file we missed ?
