[OpenIndiana-discuss] Please short automatic subjects of mailing lists

Please consider shortening subjects of automatic posted messages to
mailing lists:

Pkg-team, Sfw-team, Userland-team, Xnv-team, Jds-team (Will it be called
JDS in the future?), G11n-team, Caiman-team .

It is difficult to see those lists in human-readable format when
subjects are so long, that thay can not fir on screen.
Even if same amount of information is needed in subjects, it can be
displayed in a shorter fashion, since
humans need to actually read what subject of message thread is all about.
Also, meaningful part of a subjects is on many occasions simply cut-off
because of some limiter on maximum Subject length at mailing list. So
those watching mailing list might not even understand what subject is
about, because of such long automatically-generated Subjects beginnings.

Please who can do maintenance of generating mailing lists subjects and
cut them short?
Thnx
