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. ~Daniel Friesen(Dantman) of: -The Nadir-Point Group (http://nadir-point.com) --It's Wiki-Tools subgroup (http://wiki-tools.com) --Games-G.P.S.

I find the path *extremely* useful for filtering out masses of commits to extensions I don't know or care about. Yeah, for me on Gmail (subscribed to the commit list as well as wikitech) the current way is actually pretty good. It has the drawback that I don't necessarily notice replies to a commit when paging through my mail, but on the other hand the commit is right there for me to look over.

Right now we have [MediaWiki-CVS] SVN: [12345] path/to/changes how about: [MediaWiki-CVS] SVN: [12345] path/to/changes by Catrope (so you can at least identify whether someone's replying to your commit) or: [MediaWiki-CVS] SVN: [12345] path/to/changes (bug 12345) action=parse used to throw... (so you have some indication of what the commit was about) or of course a combination of the two. Roan Kattouw (Catrope)

All I know is for most of us (reading via NNTP via gmane.org), headers like "Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-CVS] SVN: [36255] trunk/phase3" don't reveal what's inside the message without having to click on them. Please use more descriptive headers, even if the content is over our heads.
