The main thing is the kernelversion: tag, which can appear anywhere before
the patch diff itself.  [PATCH] stuff in the subject line is ignored and
removed.

Yes, the system automatically creates an "account" on the initial email -
it's not really an "account" from the email side, but just a name/email
association with the patch itself, which can then be "converted" to an
"account" for the website by the addition of a password.
