Why doesn't dlang-bot use the GitHub conventions?

[Jacob Carlborg via Digitalmars-d]

Apparently dlang-bot doesn't recognize the GitHub syntax/conventions [1] 
to link and close issues from pull requests. Instead one have to use 
"Fix issue ...". I don't see a point in inventing new conventions for this.

Can we please have dlang-bot recognize the GitHub syntax as well?
