This should work to capture your issue numbers:

[Ii]ssue(?:(?:,\s*|[Aa]nd\s+|\s+)\#?(\d+))+

It will look for "issue" to start a capture and then take one or more spaces
or "and" and one or more spaces or "," and one or more spaces and then
capture the issue number with or without a preceding "#".

There is no need for a two pass regex for issue numbers, it's just a matter
of becoming competent with the regex syntax. IMO, I don't think you should
have an option for a two pass regex either. I think options only serve to
complicate things.
