Ya, though it would be nice if people stop using the reply button to start a new mail. I see a number of threads in the lists where the thread ends up hidden inside of another thread when I collapse it.
Though, I don't know about changing the subject line of replies to the commit mails. I actually kind of like that. Seeing the way that kind of e-mail subject line is formatted instantly identifies to me that the thread is about a commit. Which identifies it as a completely different topic than any of the variety of mails in the lists.

detail. Changing subject lines when you reply doesn't help when you use a client that collapses threads to a single line with just the first subject line (such as gmail) - you can't see that the subject line has changed. Either that, or you break the thread, which is equally annoying.
Gmail is stupid.
Any Mail User Agent that breaks threading on subject line changes is equally stupid.
We've had a *reliable* way to thread email for 2 decades now; it's called In-Reply-To. Works nice.
