[GSoC,RFC,1/6] builtin/log: add subject-extra-prefix flag to format-patch

Commit Message

Lucas Seiki Oshiro March 3, 2025, 10 p.m. UTC

Add a new flag --subject-extra-prefix to format-patch. This flag is
primarily targeted for new contributors that send emails with the suject
starting with "[Newbie]", "[FirstTimer]" or "[Newcomer]" and developers
from mentoring programs, which may start the subject with "[GSoC]",
"[Outreachy]" or similar.
