I suppose that this regex does not reflect committers' real needs and
aestetic principles, for example:

%find /usr/ports -name "*:*" | wc -l
    3207

'%' and '::' path delimiters are very convenient and good-looking.
Only bureaucratic orthodoxes can ignore this fact ;)

Also, I prefer to use unified patch naming for given port.
