Hi folks.

It really helps frequent reviewers like me if you use platform prefixes on 
bugs. A platform prefix indicates that the bug only affects code on a 
particular platform. For example:

    [Mac] Use four more named cursors if present

The above title tells you the patch is Mac-specific. Or:

    [Chromium] Switch threaded compositor from a compile time option to a run 
time one

The above title tells you the patch is Chromium-specific. There are various 
other common prefixes, such as [Skia] or [Qt].

Including a prefix on a bug title shows courtesy for others not working on your 
platform and is good for sharing the WebKit project. You should leave off a 
prefix if the patch includes cross-platform changes as well as 
platform-specific changes.
