That's some strange "logic".

You're sending a patch which has "[PATCH]" in the subject but now you
say it is not really a patch but only a way to get people's attention?!?

And nothing in it says so anywhere - it looks like an actual patch and
all.

If you do that a couple of times I'm afraid the opposite might happen -
such "patches" would get ignored completely.
