Heya Drew,
I would change the regex for extracting the JIRA ticket to something like:

re.sub('.*([A-Z]{3,}-\d+).*', r'\1', branch)

Basically, this will grab only the JIRA ticket (since I believe all JIRA projects are at least 3 uppercase letters, a dash, and any number of digits).

This should work for cases like pull-request-1234-LPS-1234.

Updated. Thanks Nate!
