Wouldn't that be AI complete? As in, whatever regex (or similar) you
might cook up could probably be matched by *someone's* style of patch
descriptions, and then it suddenly becomes rather hard to tell them
apart.
I was really only trying to prevent the case where the user formatted
several times in a row because he noticed mistakes in the patches, and
forgot to re-edit the cover letter. At least that's how I once sent
out one with a real description but the template subject.
