If we kept the prefix very short then it could solve both problems.
eg replace the words "Fedora Change Proposal" with "FCP"

"FCP<N>: <Title> [<TYPE>]"

Compare some recent mails:

Support PARSEC - Fedora 33 Self-Contained Change proposal
PostgreSQL 13 - Fedora 33 Self-Contained Change proposal
Policy for Modules in Fedora and Fedora ELN - Fedora 33 Self-Contained Change proposal
Golang 1.15 - Late Fedora 33 System-Wide Change proposal
X.org Utility Deaggregation - Fedora 33 Self-Contained Change proposal

Vs

FCP33: Support PARSEC [Self-Contained]
FCP33: PostgreSQL 31 [Self-Contained]
FCP33: Policy for Modules in Fedora and Fedora ELN [Self-Contained]
FCP33: Golang 1.15 [Late, System-Wide]
FCP33: X.org Utility Deaggregation [Self-Contained]
