The ticket guidelines for Trac suggest adding [patch] to the ticket 
summary, in cases that the user has submitted a patch (1, 2). In some cases 
the submitted patches are worthless, so there's no sense in having this 
keyword in the ticket summary. In other cases the ticket author didn't 
include the keyword so a ticket triager may be modifying the ticket summary.

However, we generally don't want to repeatedly change the ticket summary. 
One reason is that the emails won't form in a thread in most or all email 
clients when the summary has changed.

We also suggest using the "patch" keyword (3), which I think is sufficient 
to label tickets that have patches. We can easily add/remove the keyword 
depending on the usefulness of the patch, and ticket queries can be easily 
executed to find all tickets with patches.

Any other considerations that I'm overlooking?
