From the current builtin-shortlog.c:128ff:

        if (!strncmp(oneline, "[PATCH", 6)) {
                char *eob = strchr(oneline, ']');

                if (eob) {
                        while (isspace(eob[1]) && eob[1] != '\n')
                                eob++;
                        if (eob - oneline < onelinelen) {
                                onelinelen -= eob - oneline;
                                oneline = eob;
                        }
                }
        }

It tries not only to strip "[PATCH]", but also "[PATCH 0/n]" and basically 
every prefix beginning with "[PATCH" and ending in "]". I do not remember 
if I really tested that code, but it should work.

Ciao,
