I'm going to change this for your preference, but please note that
there's no requirement of using upper case for `summary phrase` in the
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst document.

The examples in that document even include both examples with first
words being either upper case and lower case, which indicates both
should be acceptable:

```
Here are some good example Subjects::

    Subject: [PATCH 2/5] ext2: improve scalability of bitmap searching
    Subject: [PATCH v2 01/27] x86: fix eflags tracking
    Subject: [PATCH v2] sub/sys: Condensed patch summary
    Subject: [PATCH v2 M/N] sub/sys: Condensed patch summary
```

Thanks,
Icenowy
