As far as that goes, that filename pattern is what is generated by
"git format-patch". I agree that the digit-count choices are a tad
odd, but they're not so awful as to be worth trying to override.

Only if you use the same "description" for all patches of a series,
which seems kind of not the point. In any case, "git format-patch"
is considered best practice for a multi-patch series AFAIK, so we
have to cope with its ideas about how to name the files.
