(adding Steve)

I agree with Anuj, and I do not remember seeing a rule to put the
CVE number in the commit message. We already have it in the
patch file name (recommended) and inside the patch file itself.
Those two places are enough in my opinion. In fact, it will likely
be there in the commit message (its title), so repeating it does
not make much logical sense.

In fact, I have an update of the manual with more detailed information
on submitting CVE fixes and looking for a resolution of this question
to submit it :)

Steve, does such additional tag in the commit message make it
easier for you?

Kind regards,
Marta
