I expect to change it yes, for better compatibily with git-format-patch.
But I'll try to not break what we already have.

It will probably be along the lines of headers can be split in two blocks
and any other lines is part of the long description (up to the first
"---\n") with Subject and From new aliases for short description and
Author.
