I'd say that would be awesome for all components (though perhaps there
are some who would consider that "spam"? -- not me though). How long
would it take to set that up? Could we even go further and set it up as
a git reply somehow, so that the user gets the option of checking things
and possibly revising their commit message to include the bug numbers it
closes before finalizing an upstream push?
