Are you thinking of the layers in meta-openembedded? There it makes sense since many layers share one mailing list. However, here we are talking about the docs repository with its own mailing list. There should be no other patches sent to it than those that are intended for the docs repository, so there should be no need to add an extra [yocto-docs] prefix. And for the record, this matches the documentation for bitbake, which also has its own mailing list.

There will be a subject, but there is no reason to prefix it with “[yocto-docs]” anymore, is there?

nope.  All the other layers have --subject-prefix so it would be nice to keep it consistent.

Since there's now a separate mailing list for docs, I think the
yocto-docs tag doesn't need to be added to patches any more.

 When sending single patches, please using something like:
-'git send-email -1 --to docs@lists.yoctoproject.org --subject-prefix=yocto-docs][PATCH'
+'git send-email -1 --to docs@lists.yoctoproject.org

We still need a subject

+The To header can be set as default for this repository:
 
 $ git config sendemail.to docs@lists.yoctoproject.org

 Now you can just do 'git send-email origin/master' to send all local patches.
