Okay.  That string is used for regexp matching and probably should not
be there.

  - If this regexp -> "\n   [State]: ...it." matches anywhere in the
    subtree then the project is not stuck.

That's probably not what you want even if matching that exactly string
is unlikely.  If you click on the _customize_ link you'll see what each
value is used for.  You probably just want an empty string there.

Carsten mentioned that inherited tags are not considers for stuck
project matching during the search and you should probably try his
suggestion to see if it works better for your scenario.
