Not everyone has time to go through xen-devel. I only received e-mail where I am 
CCed in my inbox. All the others are queued in a folder.

I honestly don't expect a low volume of e-mail on such tagged e-mail. So I don't 
see any concern here.

The canonical subject only works for one sort of e-mail. It does not scale if 
you have all sort of release e-mail (e.g branching, commit moratorium...).
I know as committers we are CCed in some of those e-mails. But that does not 
make it very easy for others.
