This is an improvement, however I still think requiring the 4 character
Bug# tag before a bug number is clumsy. Searching for the # character
should be sufficient, and is already common in most changelogs.

Thus I suggest:

	/fixes:\s*\(bug\)?\#\d+\(,\s*\(bug\)?\#\d+\)*/i

ie match 'bug' 0 or 1 times, but require #.
