I kinda find the default gerrit message subjects quite not practical for narrow 
screens (not only mobile).

The information is stacked with too much repetitive boilerplate at the start. 
Most of the time only very few letters from the interesting part (like change 
name) are visible.

Am I the only one observing this? 

Does it make sense to look into changing the templates to make them more 
compact?

Few observations:
- "Change in" is mostly boilerplate, I would be happy to use a bried suffix 
like `x: ` or an emoji but that may be controversial
- Project name with organization suffix, how often do we have same project 
under two different orgs?
- Is master really needed? I would rather avoid mentioning it for master or 
even avoiding it completely if not possible to hide it for master only
- Advanced filtering of messages can be done using message headers, nobody 
forces us to rely on subject line alone
- Even the message content could use some improvements, mainly about making it 
more compact

What do you think?
