So to me it looks like the required changes are: 

* Rename Author field to From. Ensure it is first field. 
* Add Date field. Set to what? 
* Rename Description to Subject. 
* Ensure blank line before description. 
* Remove space at start of every line in description. 
* Ensure blank line after description. 

The Applied-upstream field looks nice to have, but maybe not essential. 

Is this correct? Did I miss anything? 

A tool to automate some, if not all of this, would be good.
