The matter is, it seems to disregard the non-default value. This is
what has been in the configuration since 2021-04-14:
'skips': [
r'\[ *skip *ci *\]', # default
r'\[ *ci *skip *\]', # default
r'\[ *skip *bb *\]', # does not seem to work
r'\[ *skip *buildbot *\]', # idem
],
That had no effect on the day (Buildbot version likely 3.0.3 or 3.1.0):

This is now on the list of potential improvements.

ci.html now includes this information, thank you for summarizing the
current state.

This solution space does not match the problem space perfectly, but the
amount of useful feedback is worth the cost.
