89 I don't know what you asked Joe to change, but asking someone to use
90 the documented canonical patch format:
93 The canonical patch subject line is:
95 Subject: [PATCH 001/123] subsystem: summary phrase
98 should be fine. And there is no need for printf-ish templates
99 for this in MAINTAINERS either.
