I have a quick check:

Here is my observation:

1)      From 
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Commit-Message-Format, it 
mentions:

  *   The length of 'Pkg-Module: Brief-single-line-summary' should not exceed 
70 characters


2)      In the PatchCheck.py, we have below code:
       if count >= 1 and len(lines[0]) > 76:
            self.error('First line of commit message (subject line) ' +
                       'is too long.')


3)      You recommendation "Maintainers.txt: Add Giri as IntelFsp2*Pkg, 
IntelSiliconPkg maintainer", it is 71 char.
However, if we add "[edk2] [PATCH]", it becomes 85 char.

I am confused on the rule. So I have 2 suggestion:

1)      wiki mentions *70* char, but tool checks *76* char. It seems mismatch. 
We had better fix that. Can we make them consistent?

2)      In most cases, the patch subject is start with *[edk2] [PATCH]*. These 
14 additional char had better be excluded in the total 70 or 76 char (I am not 
sure what is right number), when the subject is calculated.

I have no problem to fix this patch manually.

I do hope we can have consistent rule and tool to help us do the check.

Thank you

I got error from BaseTools\Scripts\PatchCheck.py, if I add it.

Can you fix the tool to remove such limitation?

Subject: Re: [edk2] [PATCH] Maintainers.txt: Add Giri as 2nd maintainer

What about this patch subject instead?

Maintainers.txt: Add Giri as IntelFsp2*Pkg, IntelSiliconPkg maintainer

This way we can see the affected packages from the subject line.
