Use a regular expression to match text after "Re:" or any text in the

Is this patch going to get applied? We like to use the '[topic]' format
in Clutter¹ because it looks so much nicer than 'topic:' and it would be
really nice not to have to manually fix the commit when a contributor
sends a patch in the same format.
