From a pure eye-candy perspective it would be nice to use same format

all over.

From Documentation/SubmittingPatches:

------------------
12) The canonical patch format

The canonical patch subject line is:

    Subject: [PATCH 001/123] subsystem: summary phrase
--------------

The patch format specifies things that make no sense
when the changes gets into the tree.  Especially the
sequence numbers, which are implied by the changes
placement in the relative changeset history.

We are getting into the realm of personal taste, and I
fail to see any benefit from enforcing one subsystem to
adopt a different schema if what they're doing now provides
all the necessary information and works well for them.
