=E2=80=98To whom it may concern=E2=80=99.  :-)

Yes, using the =E2=80=98retitle=E2=80=99 command, described somewhere at
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/Developer.html>.

However, I think (1) the title should describe the bug, not the
solution, and (2) =E2=80=98guix edit=E2=80=99 does what it says IMO, even i=
f it can
occasionally stumble upon read-only files.
