Agreed.

Yes, the patch explains the issue well. If the link had been in the BZ,
I wouldn't have complained (as much).

It was not clear that you ever intended to add the link to the BZ.

Yes. There was no link from the BZ to the patch however. And it wasn't
possible to determine whether you were going to add the link later. I
tend to add the link immediately after posting, so I don't forget. My
experience tell me that most patch submitters that don't add the link at
once forget for good.

Yes, it was a generalization, sorry about that.

One thing I do have to admit (because I brought up GitHub.com before) is
that, on GitHub.com, if you submit a pull request, and at least one of
the commit messages references an Issue (like your commit message here
references TianoCore#2563), then the issue automatically gets an update.
So in that regard GitHub.com does save some manual work.
