Perhaps we should restrict that to a single line, ie only horizontal white

I presume it's intended to handle a paragraph where the reference to bug

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.
