I presume it's intended to handle a paragraph where the reference to bug 2020 happens to have a line break in the middle of it. This is code maintained by overseers (/sourceware/infra/bin/email-to-bugzilla, version-controlled in CVS, shared by all sourceware projects) which hasn't changed since 2014. The only GCC-specific piece is a very thin wrapper (~gccadmin/hooks-bin/email-to-bugzilla-filtered) based on that used by binutils-gdb. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
