The mandatory part then becomes "[PATCH bluetooth-next] Bluetooth: ".
That doesn't leave much to the really valuable part, especially if
you're on a 80-column wide terminal. Add Subject: to the beginning and
you've got even less. Kernel patches already have the Bluetooth: prefix
in the subject so they are pretty easy to spot IMHO. For obexd OTOH I'd
be fine with a [PATCH obexd] convention.
