Lars Ljung proposed to change frame-title-format to something more
modern and similar to Firefox, gvim, Gimp, LibreOffice, etc.:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/41147
FWIW, on Debian GNU/Linux, this is what some other programs do:
"<title of the page displayed in the current tab> - Mozilla Firefox"
"<title of the page displayed in the current tab> - Google Chrome"
"<file name being played> - VLC media player" (with a playlist with two or more
items)
"VLC media player" (with an empty playlist or one with a single file)
"MPlayer"
"<file name> - LibreOffice {Calc|Writer|...}"
"<modification status>[<file name without extension>] <detailed information about the file> - GIMP",
where <modification status> is "" or "*"
In short, there is no clear convention.
On macOS, title bars have mostly disappeared, but a few apps still use it,
for example:
"<file name>" (LibreOffice or TextEdit)
"<buffer name>" (GNU Emacs, the default value for frame-title-format is t)
I would personally vote for something like:
(setq frame-title-format '("%* %b - " (:eval (format "GNU Emacs %d on %s"
emacs-major-version system-name))))
