That sounds fair, however it does look like people who submit trivial
patches are typically the ones that also tend not to follow prior
commits to the same file, and given the patch is trivial, enforcing a
consistent subject sort of offsets the less amount of time spent in
reviewing the patch.

GMT-0800 so it make take a bit of time for us to get to our review backlog.
