1) When a commit message references more than one bug (with text matching #\d+), only the first gets a message for the changeset. I would like all referenced bugs to get a message.
+1 I would have expected this to be the case already. While there is something to be said for one issue -- one patch, there are legitimate exceptions. It is possible for two different surface level behavior bugs to be fixed by one underlying code patch. Also, I would prefer one patch for multiple typos fixed at the same time.
2) When a bug number (#\d+) is not in the first line of the commit message, no message is sent. Is there a reason for this or is it a bug? (Note: I’m not sure about this one, I may misremember.)
+1 I would have expected this also. While it is usually a good idea to put the issue number in the first line, I see this as a social issue rather than a technical issue. If an issue numbers on later lines is regarded as an error, then the technical fix would be to reject the patch with a message to the submitter. 'Errors should not pass silently'.
3) To let us track the backport of changesets from
cpython/packaging to
distutils2, I would like the script to look at changesets in the distutils2 repo and send messages to Roundup when a bug number is detected.
+1 This would also help bug submitters who are using disutils2 on pre-3.3 releases to know that the fix is available to them also.
