Please drop the please... please?

Hi,
When I browsed the content of my mailbox folder with new bugmail this
morning, I became mildly annoyed at the overly polite subjects
"Please..." this or "Please..." that.
Isn't it overdoing the (wonderful) Ubuntu politeness a bit? The result
of all this verbiage in the mail subject is that the _interesting_
part of the subject is moved further to the right in the message
listing where it is often truncated by the next column.
So, couldn't we accept the technically exact "Sync foo" and "Backport
foo" instead of "Please sync foo" and "Please backport foo"?? The
"Please" can be put in the wording of the message, if politeness is
required.
Please? :-)
Cheers,
Morten
