Forgot to mention that for me the best approach is to have the tree name
in subject, just like Dave and Linus both recommend:

[PATCH 06/12 wireless-drivers-next] wireless: Convert simple uses of a static const Ethernet broadcast address

This way I can immeaditely see from patchwork to which tree the patch
should go which helps tremendously. And if the tree name is too long you
can always shorten it to w-d and w-d-next.
