With all due respect, "--rfc=WIP" looks like a kludge, simply

I wouldn't use "should" there.

How about introducing "--label=<string>" as the new option,...

I still think --rfc=WIP is a lot more natural and easier to
understand, and it is just the matter of how you introduce it.
I'll show you how in a separate patch later.

The problem I see with an overly generic word like "label" is that
it would mislead readers to say "--label=important" and expect it to
appear on an extra e-mail header, not as a part of "Subject:".

"Label" is a little generic, I'll give you that.

But we can do this to get the ball rolling, without bikeshedding
what option name to use.  Until we find a good name, users can
use --rfc=WIP and when we do find a good name, it can be added
as a synonym, possibly deprecating --rfc, and if we never agree
on a good name, that is fine as well.

If you insist, let's do it that way! :)
