There is no real limit on the length of PR titles, other than whatever limit is

736b8039f5 doc: clarify SubmittingPatches.rst
This commit clarifies that folks opening bugfix PRs that need backporting to
one or more stable branches should always target master, and that the
backporting itself takes place only after the master PR is merged.

65770059cb doc: amend Fixes instructions in SubmittingPatches
Since the "Fixes: #..." line is interpreted by GitHub as referring to a
pull request, yet the intention is for it to refer to the tracker issue,
change our instructions to use the full tracker issue URL.

Now that github pull request numbers are in the 8000s, there are cases when
a PR is wrongly closed by a "Fixes: #..." line in a commit message. See

https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/8286#event-603120191

for one such case.
