So, instead of changing the behavior of format-patch, would it be better if we changed the documentation to ask these patches to be sent with `[GSoC PATCH]` or similar instead of `[GSoC][PATCH]`?

I mean, in https://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/ :

""" When you submit your patch, please mention that you plan to apply for the GSoC or Outreachy. You can use "[GSoC][PATCH ...]" or "[Outreachy][PATCH ...]" in the subject of the emails you send for that purpose. """
