Github released some months ago a new feature to configure Autolink references for Apache Beam a new github feature to have automatic links to issues in external systems e.g. JIRA for our case.
https://github.blog/2019-10-14-introducing-autolink-references/ For info I filled INFRA-19967 to request this for Beam and Infra quickly enabled it, the links should be started to populate in the new PRs soon.
