I didn't start working on this to give new contributors a chance :) (I have been contributing to the SN codebase for some time now and I also claimed the previous bounty.)
Looking at the comments and Github, I think no one else has picked this up so I think you have good chances to get the bounty.
I am also glad to see someone picking this up!
Created a new Github issue for collating any feedback: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/239

thanks for the comment, spent some time tidying up and ended up also implementing the async lookup for when regex won't work.
i'll do a write-up in the morning and share it to get some feedback. once I started digging into this feature I found lots of little edge cases and considered several ways of implementing it, so i'll be curious what you think of the code
