I've applied this but I'm fed up to the back teeth of having to hand edit trivial patches from you because you ignore the subject line styles of subsystems and make up your own.
Your style rules just don't matter to me and you can ignore the patches and fix it yourself.
Or better, create a tool for others to use that follow your silly style rules.
This is just like any other coding style thing - you should be creating patches that look like other patches for the affected, if there's things like obvious visual differences in what you're doing you're doing it wrong.
Automation doesn't work for things like this, there's a good solid reason why there's generally a human involved in patch; the other people who submit lots of cleanups generally manage to figure this out usefully, you might want to discuss techniques with them.
