Well, I personally don't care that much and I find this rule to be a bit 
arbitrary.
If one wants to stick with the existing rule and nevertheless trigger an 
e-mail notification (to compensate the known defect #2259 - no 
notification on attachments), one alternative is to add the "patch" keyword.
As for the e-mail client argument, I think it's not a strong one, as 
summary changes are often needed in order to fix a poorly worded 
summary, or to precise the focus of a ticket if it changes over time. 
And we should take the habit of fixing them more often, as this 
facilitates a lot working with ticket reports.

To answer Remy, "How do you mark a ticket as having a patch for 
review?", "review" could be used as well, but there's the distinction 
that "patch" is used when the patch is coming from contributors and 
"review" when its coming from team members. Of course, that distinction 
is quite as arbitrary as the "[PATCH]  for new ticket only" one ;-)
