I didn't say we don't need documentation. I said there will always be more
information than what's documented and reviewers are supposed to teach.

Simple: it always jumps to JIRA, never to Gerrit. Task are always in JIRA.

Well, you could have said that. It's bad name because QTreeView exists and I
guess lots of people will misread it, like I did. I hadn't realised it was "Qt
Review" until now.

It doesn't happen because of "QTBUG", it happens because of "Task-number:"

If you have a concrete suggestion for Gerrit keyword extracting, please make
it. So far, this discussion has led nowhere and I still don't know what you
want and what you've discovered so far.
