As a rule of thumb, it would be good to keep in mind to always provide a
bit of context in commit messages so that people working on backports can
judge of the relevance of a patch when reading the "git log" output without
having to start a browser, switch context, or even depend on github's
accessibility.

Links are perfect for reference and to provide the full details but should
not constitute the essence of the description, which should still be there,
even if it can be synthetic. Plus imagine if two years ahead github decides
to start purge old issues, we'd lose all history!

Thanks!
Willy
