Documenting what hasn't been is a good thing, but is it really up-to-date?

Isn't it "a randomly chosen recent commit whose subject contains regexp
foo" these days?

I don't know.

I was vaguely recalling this one when I wrote the above.

commit 57895105c4ff083d7c9bc59b2b88b9b5176c1915
Author: Linus Torvalds [off-list ref]

    Make :/ accept a regex rather than a fixed pattern
    
    This also makes it trigger anywhere in the commit message, rather than
    just at the beginning. Which tends to be a lot more useful.
