In https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/rpmautospec/blob/main/f/rpmautospec/pkg_history.py#_367 it says:
if commit_subject.startswith("-"): commit_subject = commit_subject[1:].lstrip()
This will only remove the first dash:
>>> a="--foobar" >>> a[1:].lstrip() '-foobar'
Isn't this what we want?
>>> a="--foobar" >>> a.lstrip("-") 'foobar'
I've created a PR for this in #242
Closing, as per the reasons in #242.
