As per the kernel documentation[1], it suggest the length of subject no more than 75. > > [...] > For these reasons, the ``summary`` must be no more than 70-75 > characters, and it must describe both what the patch changes, as well > as why the patch might be necessary. > Considered the prefix patch number "0001-" would take 5 characters, increase the FORMAT_PATCH_NAME_MAX to 80.
