The '?' in the regexp (i.e., "(bug)?") means that the word "bug" is
optional. But if you use it, there may be no space between the word
bug and the following (mandatory) "#" sign. Also, the /i at the end
means that case is irrelevant, so:
Closes: BUG#12345,#40101, bug#33333
will also work, but
closes : bug #16777, 30303
won't for three reasons: (1) space between "closes" and ":", (2) space
after "bug", (3) no "#" before 30303.
