It's not enforced, nor it is a glob of some kind, for a while the only
check was /^\S+:/, but it has been relaxed since, it is a discriminant,
something to help readers know what the commit is about. The only case
where `*/*:` would be appropriate, kinda, is a sweep of the whole three,
but in that case, `sweep:` would probably make more sense anyway.
