Your Subject line should specify a subsystem prefix, followed by a colon
character, indicating the area of the kernel where you are making
changes.

In this particular case, "ipv6: " would be an appropriate one to use.

Otherwise in the shortlog, it is impossible to determine where a commit
might be making changes.
