Hmm - this shouldn't matter: There is only a single prefix defined,
in [defaults]:

commit_subject_prefix = [Python-checkins] commit of

There is no other occurrence of that string in any other spelling
elsewhere, and neither of the "commit of" part. So if prefix was
empty, the entire "commit of" should be absent.

Anyway, I just killed the "[Python-checkins]" part from the prefix
(expecting that mailman would add it, anyway), and regenerated
the r41848 commit message, and it seem that worked this time.

So I still suspect this to be a mailman bug.

There is just too much Python code involved in delivering Python
commit messages :-)
