Description
In its current form the PR produced for a backport looked like:
[PR #3230/5e717ce9 backport][stable/3.4] Ensure SystemExit is captured on driver initialization #3253
That is producing long/hard to read commit messages or release notes (release-drafter) and I would like to make it possible to simplify them.
As I am aware that it would close to impossible to find a one-size-pleases-all solution, maybe having a templated configurable field for title would sort the issue.
Including original backport link in body is essential but I am inclined to believe that something like backport: {src_title} or {src_title} backport #123 would be enough as they would produce easy to read lists.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the GitHub app currently generates backport pull-request titles and preserves the original backport link in the body. Review the existing configuration entry points and any title-related tests. Done means a configurable title template supports the requested source-title forms while retaining the original backport link.
