So perhaps we check the subject of the message we reply to for

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(rx "[PATCH" (? blank (1+ digit) "/" (1+ digit)) "]")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If it matches, we use the subject of the message for the reply, rather
than the title of the bug report.

The regexp should be offered as user option, of course.

Best regards, Michael.
