I researched online this topic a bit and maybe providing ticket ID in
commit message is not so good idea:
<https://hackernoon.com/on-git-commit-messages-and-issue-trackers-f700f3cbb5a7?gi=1821111258f>.
The article mentions that issue tracker could change in future therefore
making those IDs in Git meaningless. As we don't publish and review our
patches in the issue tracker it means that if one wants to sent patch to
this mailing list they must also mention in a cover letter / patch which
issue the patch addresses but we would have to do it anyways since one
needs to tell also to what repository the patch is for. So I don't think
it is a big deal to drop the ticket ID from the commit message.

What I suggest for the commit message is "Fix "Ecryption" typo".
