Here what specifically confused the bot were the additional tags
present in the debug patch. One possible alternative would have been
posting - in the same thread - the code of the tentative patch without
the formal commit message/tag area.

That option is quite convenient toome, as writing the changelog takes
me a measurable amount of time and I could spend that effort only when
the patch is finalize/tested.

Please let me know if the above makes sense to you.

Cheers,
