In my case, there is a string in the commit comment that indicates the
bug (coming from TortoiseCVS). But I let you know when/if I find
something how to get it from CVSNT itself.

For my case, the first one would be ok, as would be anyone, or all of
them; we use TortoiseCVS and it only allows one bug id per commit.
(Which is a better idea anyway; I'm not sure there is a convincing case
for multiple bug ids per commit.)

That's also a good thing. In general, once you have it extracted, it
should be relatively easy to make it available for both subject and
body.
