darcs push --matches 'name bugfix && not name ^[0-9]+-local'

The quoting rules in match expressions are a little simplified.
I don't remember the exact rule now, but usually it's enough
to use "s, like: 'name "foo bar"' if there are spaces in
an argument.

The --patches option doesn't seem to combine with the
--matches option.
