libgpiod wants patches to be sent as [libgpiod][PATCH ...] [1]. However,
b4 always sends [PATCH libgpiod ...]. I found no config switch to change
that.

Maybe one could differ between prefixes and tags? Then prefixes could
be a _real_ prefix and a tag could be within the square brackets as
described by the docs [2]?

Because it's wrong[tm]. :)

I'll think about adding a way to do this.
