Note to contributors: it's very handy when patches comes with a properly
formated subject. Try to put one of the following words between brackets
to indicate the importance of the patch followed by a short description:

[MINOR]    minor fix, very low risk of impact
[MEDIUM]   medium risk, may cause unexpected regressions of low importance or
           which may quickly be discovered

[...]

And git-am strips such prefixes because of [PATCH] and [PATCH n/m] which
should be stripped.
