I agree that the commit message Subject: lines consume a lot of horizontal
space before they get to the meat of the matter.  E.g.

[Python-checkins] cpython (2.7): blah

Removing 'cpython' doesn't lose much information since I suspect that repo
will be the most common one.  We could also shorten the Subject prefix that
Mailman adds, or remove it entirely.  I'm not so much in favor of total
removal, but [PyCommit] or [PyHG] or some other suggestion might work.
