Patches welcome. Thanks for a concise summary. I agree that loosening the rule, or even adding an option to loosen the rule, is detrimental to the ecosystem at large, and documentation can be improved. In retrospect, I supsect that it even was a mistake to special case the #BUGID syntax when the trailer was pretty much about lines that look similar to E-Mail-Header: fields. Let's not make it worse. Thanks.
