Hmm this message is weird, has my display name when I reply but the
postgis-devel email address.  I don't like this.  
This is a new thing right?

I'm not sure what keeping/removing the subject prefix has to do with
DMARC/DKIM compliance or whatever strk is trying to fix.
It seemed to me like a thing strk decided to throw in  "While I'm fixing
this, might as well get rid of the subject headers which I hate".

Strk -- I don't care what you do with postgis-tickets cause I'm not
subscribed to that mailing list.
So if you really don't like the subject line in postgis-tickets, yes go
ahead and remove it.  But  I'd rather you not do that with mailing lists I
do read.

If you plan to do something - please propose as a PSC vote item before
moving forward.  This to me is not a trivial thing.

Thanks,
Regina
