maybe I'm doing this wrong... but how do I set the subject prefix for a patch 
series?

I can provide a subject using the cover-from-description=subject of 
git-format-patch(1) but that results in patches like this:
https://lists.sr.ht/~bitfehler/anemos/patches/53188

Is setting format.subjectprefix the only way to do this?

Right now, yes.

I don't want to clutter the UI too much with many knobs - ideally
the user shouldn't have to care…

It's also possible for a project to ship a .b4-config file with an
email address and subject prefix, pyonji will pick it up by default.

maybe it would help to add some kind of help text? basically teach users where
the knobs are in the underlying tools

wouldn't it also be possible to compare the to address and the remote of the
base? if they are not matching then offer some kind of hint of how to configure
setting a prefix
