The most popular tool is git-am, which I and many others use.

git-am will snip "[SUBSYSTEM]" in the example that you give.

It should only snip the first "[Patch X/Y] " part, or the manual is
buggy :-)

Manual is buggy.

        [EMAIL PROTECTED] netdev-2.6]$ grep '^Subject:' /g/tmp/mbox
        Subject: [PATCH 1/2][FOO][BAR][BAZ] tulip: napi full quantum bug

is merged as

        commit e34e20a3ae1ec30856427d260f454b8984ebced2
        Author: Stephen Hemminger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        Date:   Thu Dec 13 09:35:45 2007 -0800

            tulip: napi full quantum bug

And that matches existing practice, where people put tons of not-to-be-merged metadata into the subject lines.

Regards,

        Jeff
