Hi,

This is a friendly reminder to everyone about the preferred way to
link to bugs in your commit messages.

As specified at

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Commit_message_guidelines

Eyes on this page & edits (if needed) are welcome.

When you include them as
part of the footer, they are indexed and are thus searchable. For
example:

"""
Fixing some weird bug

More explanation
Blah blah blah.

Bug: 1234
Change-Id: Ia90.....
"""

So when you do this, you're able to search for "bug:1234" via Gerrit.
By doing this, you're also removing it from the first line (which was
our old habit, mostly from SVN days), providing you more space to
be descriptive in that first line.
