OK.

Yeah, this is wrong. There should be a whitespace indentation in a
multi-line header, or the whole thing should be on one line. The newline
in your commit subject is apparently leaking through, and it should be
qp-encoded.

No. It adds all lines in the first paragraph into sb. Which, if you
follow the usual git convention, is a single line. But we also see
commits imported from other version control systems where that
convention is not as prevalent. In practice, using the whole first
paragraph seems to make the most sense as a subject.

No, that's not right. It breaks the use-whole-paragraph feature. The
right fix is to encode the embedded newline in the subject properly.
