Good idea.  :-)  Updated template:

        -- email subject limit -----------------------------------------
        -- gitweb summary limit --------------------------


        Reported-by:

        Bug:

        Patch-by:

        Reviewed-by:

        Backpatch through:

I had to make up "Patch-by:" as it wasn't listed.


The original format uses the author for that (author != committer in git), but that changes how we work a bit more. I'd be happy to just clal it "Author" rather than "Patch-by".

I also suggest a - in "Backpatch-through:" -- since all the others are intentionally mad ewithout a space, I assume that's for easier parsing.

They also had tested-by, it might be an idea to include that as well?
