the [a-f0-9]{1,40} already excludes "commit".

Fail enough. We do already have 6-digit SHA1 collisions, so it seemed
like using more than 6 would be nicer? *shrug* I don't have a strong
opinion. :)

Ah, I'd missed where that happened. I do note that's only when
git-all-signature-types is set, which is default 0. (/me goes to add
this to his invocations...)

my $email_git_all_signature_types = 0;
...
    if ($email_git_all_signature_types) {
        $signature_pattern = "(.+?)[Bb][Yy]:";
    } else {
        $signature_pattern = "\(" . join("|", @signature_tags) . "\)";
    }

Sure, it just seemed odd to populate it if it wasn't going to be used.
