LMI> Project" is sufficient?

The branch is necessary.  "updated" denoted the action taken.  The [git]
prefix is, I think, a nice visual filter (especially since we set the
sender to the author).  "Gnus Project" is the Git repo's config
description which we know.  The revision ID could be omitted, sure.  So
maybe this is better.

Subject: [gnus git] master updated. Remove %O (moderated) from group line format, since it isn't very interesting.

I made the change after my last commit so the next push will show the
new format.

One inaccuracy is that with multiple authors, only the most recent one
is used, and perhaps the comitter is the right name to put in From
instead of the author.  OTOH when Katsumi synchronizes, it's better to
see who made the change originally.  I'm open to suggestions.
