OK, that's understandable.

That's a good idea: no need to test quick demo-of-idea patches.

That's good clues, too. So how about make the rule

        Skip test if no "^Signed-off-by:" and Subject =~ /^Re:/

For a patch posted inside a discussion thread, as long as it have
"^Signed-off-by:", I guess the author is serious and the patch could
be tested seriously.
