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.

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.
