Maybe I'm misunderstanding? This would require that all commits be
specifically associated with an issue. I don't have actual stats, but briefly
skimming recent commits and looking at the issue tracker, a lot of commits
can't be reasonably associated with an issue. This requirement would either
force people to create fake issues for each commit, or to reference
tangentially-related or overly-broad issues in commit messages, neither of
which is very useful.
Referencing any conversation that leads to or influences a commit is a good
idea, but something this inflexible doesn't seem right.

How would people feel about a requirement for all commit messages to have
an issue number in them? And could we make bors enforce that?
The reason is that GitHub is very bad at being able to trace back a commit
to the issue it fixes (sometimes it manages, but not always). Not being
able to find the discussion around a commit is extremely annoying.
