Really, you don't?!

Looks like your mbox can take more mail then :)

Probably because all those folks here haven't been bitten by the imprecise
regex issue:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/97e322a3-0526-414d-a288-835d11ee2b1a@xxxxxxxxx

and I think they have but they probably didn't realize that this pattern thing
matches commit message text too.

The below fixes this particular case but I can already see it is not enough so
I think this pattern needs tightening and actually splitting it into several
patterns for easier matching.

Probably something with a path separator in it:

*./tdx(-[a-zA-Z]+/.*

and so on.

Yah, I was going to add them to Cc but the faulty pattern added them already.

Pfff.
