I looked into this briefly. I saw something like:

if prefix: subject = prefix + ' ' + self.subject else: subject = self.subject

Hmm - this shouldn't matter: There is only a single prefix defined, in [defaults]:

commit_subject_prefix = [Python-checkins] commit of

There is no other occurrence of that string in any other spelling elsewhere, and neither of the "commit of" part. So if prefix was empty, the entire "commit of" should be absent.

Anyway, I just killed the "[Python-checkins]" part from the prefix (expecting that mailman would add it, anyway), and regenerated the r41848 commit message, and it seem that worked this time.

So I still suspect this to be a mailman bug.

There is just too much Python code involved in delivering Python commit messages :-)
