Hmm, so I'm not entirely sure about this. On one hand, I understand why
it would be helpful to do this. However, commit '66a88a46' was supposed
to address this. Is there something that that change doesn't have that
you need to expose? I've CCd the authors/reviewers of that change to
get their input.

fwiw, in the longer term I'd like to add a label feature that would
track most of the labels found in subjects (i.e. everything except
'PATCH', 'RFC', 'nn/mm' and 'vNN' tags). This is decidedly a 2.1+ goal,
however.

66a88a46 was designed purely to solve the issue of figuring out which repository to apply a patch to for CI purposes, nothing more.

I can see why a maintainer may want to go all the way and consider it to be a full separate patchwork project, but I don't think the maintainers of any of the lists I'm on that use subject prefixes would want to do this.

You're also going to have to deal with the inevitable patch that misses the correct prefix (a particular trap for new contributors).

I'm not opposed to adding this if there are maintainers who have reasons why they would like to have completely separate projects, though from a CI perspective I think we're adequately served already.
