Another format of marking upstream commits. How are this is number 8
or so. I have scripts trying to parse this, and I don't believe I'm
the only one.

Could se simply place Upstream: <hash> tag here? That should
discourage such "creativity"... plus it will make it clear who touched
patch in mainline context and who in stable context.

The upstream commit ID must be specified with a separate line above the commit text, like this:

commit <sha1> upstream.
