Some projects do this by convention within the committers, using various tags within the log message to denote bug number, reporter, original source, test id, whatever. But it's up to each project to implement a policy for this at the community level.

There's a useful set of commentary on this kind of question here:

  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3493

Note also that SVN allows committers to update log messages after the fact, so you can always add new annotations later if needed.

Hi,

I do not know if Apache has some proposed syntax of commit messages (and don't 
have time to dig around it on the web), but I'd like to see commit log/messages 
containing the number of fixed issue referenced and no commit messages without 
that number.

In OOo times, the commit logs were in the following structure:

#12345#: Fix typo (i->y).

Can we do the same/similar in Apache OpenOffice.org?
