To all who are generating pull requests:

I get emails for every pull request message that is posted, as do anyone who is subscribed to the github project.

A recent message in my email:

@monarchdodra Good point, done.

The "view it on Github" is a link to the message. So I can see what this is about. But it would be nice if the pull request title was more descriptive. I don't know what issue 12419 is.

Please note, I am not complaining about the volume of pull request chatter, this is great! But the title of the pull request should describe what it logically is without having to click through to a bug report or read everything about the pull request.

If you want to say "fix issue XXX", please repeat the bug title at least.

I wonder if we can get github to add support to linking our bugzilla tickets against #<num> like they do with the built in tracker. Unless it already has it?

I made this userscript a few years ago, when D development was moved to GitHub:

http://dump.thecybershadow.net/b7d2e2759116df7a83ee2f4678856a1e/dbuglinks.user.js

It acts on the "issue NNNN" pattern, because the "#NNNN" pattern is already used by GitHub to link to its issues / pull requests.
