The problem is this line here:
oldmember = "".join(t) # Reconstruct the original formatting
The regex *has* to capture the entire match string so that it can be
reconstructed back to its original form, which we need to edit the full
list of members later on.
This code could use a deep rethink, but it works for now :)
