I agree with you.

Your current interpretation was correct. My main goal is to define a
"precise" format, so it easy to parse for render of mask (i.e. soko). I
also think we have nothing to gain from allowing "," instead of "."
after removal date, but not that I care. Same for bugs-list, I'm fine
with making the "," optional, but I want us to define a "precise regex"
so we have consistent format for important bits of mask message. Does
this seem good enough for you?

BUGS-LIST    ::= [Bb]ugs? #\d+(,? +#\d+)*
LAST-RITE    ::= Removal on {DATE}[.,]? +{BUGS-LIST}.?
