The best description of how to pick a subject line is in the section
entitled "The canonical patch format" in the kernel file,
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.  Please read that whole file as it
contains everything you need to know about writing good changelog texts
and everything else.

That's better than what you currently have, but I know you can do much
better than that :)

good luck!
