I agree too, with the additional restriction that you propose, namely that
<category> should be an existing category name. We do need to be certain
not to attach any significance to the actual value of <category>, as long
as it is an existing category, since people may send follow-ups to PRs that
have since changed category.
This also allows us to get rid of the far-too-restrictive matching on "Re:"
at the start of the subject, since some internationalized e-mail clients
(at least MS Outlook) use localized equivalents, such as AW: (German) and
SV: (Norwegian).
