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