After having a glance at /cvs/debian-boot/CVSROOT/newlog.pl at
klecker, I'm not sure how that patch would ever help.
The script only puts the value of $login variable on the
subject line and that is initialized as follows:
$login = $ENV{'CVS_USER'} || $ENV{'LOGNAME'} || $ENV{'USER'} || getlogin || (getpwuid($<))[0] || "nobody";
Anyway, modifying the script to put more info on the subject
line doesn't seem to be a problem. The problem is for us to
decide what do we want on the subject line. We can't have all
the modified files, since that sometimes wouldn't fit. Maybe
just the module name and the directory?
