Description
The subject is passed to Akismet and saved to post meta (to `_feedback_akismet_values`) before tokens in the subject are replaced by form values.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Trace the Contact Form handling that sends subjects to Akismet and saves `_feedback_akismet_values`; start by finding where subject tokens are replaced relative to those operations. Done means both Akismet and the saved post meta use the subject after replacement, with the existing behavior verified by the relevant tests.
