No, we don't want this stricter test because it assumes that the
right-hand side of "[-A-Za-z]+:" will be an email address, so it
requires an '@' to exist. We want to be able to support lines that do
not have email addresses on the right-hand side like:
Bug: XXX
Change-Id: XXX
and perhaps eventually
Cherry-picked-from: XXX
The current series has retained the same basic test for an
rfc2822-like line that existed in sequencer.c and would interpret a
line that contains only a colon as conforming. A follow-on patch
could require that at least one character precede the colon, but that
would be a change in behavior that is not the goal of this series.
