So did you select the patch subject without any automation
or did you create a tool that looks only at commits for
individual files?

Yeah...

Something like the script below and some examples of its use?

$ cat find_best_header.sh
#!/bin/bash

# Show possible patch subject prefixes for a file in git

# use commits that modify only the single file argument and
# emit up to the 5 most common commit prefixes

git log --no-merges --format='%h' -- $1 |
while read commit ; do
if [[ $(git log --format='%h' --name-only -1 $commit | wc -l) == 3 ]] ; then
git log --format='%s' -1 $commit
fi
done |
cut -f1 -d":" | cut -f1-3 -d" " | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -5
