No, not after I have learned more about stg. The missing subjects were
from other patches I had imported from emails. They has all of the
email headers on them. Once I edited those out the subjects appeared
ok. 'stg edit' should help with this, it was non-obvious to use 'stg
refresh' to edit the patch descriptions.

Why is mailing a patch series so slow?

There also seems to be a disconnect when mailing patches. Locally the
patches have a name, when you email them it uses the short description
for the name by default instead of the local name. This may cause
confusion because the emailed name does not default to the local name.
A parallel issue happens on import.

Now that I am aware of the naming scheme I can deal with it, but this
may be a problem for new users. It might be better to force the short
description and local name to always match.
