Making the bug number in the summary manditory or strongly encouraged leads to
wonderful commit messages like:

---
cat-pkg: Fix bug #504321.

Gentoo-Bug: 504321
---

I would like to see this be more common:

---
cat-pkg: Make the thingy work again.

Gentoo-Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/504321 or 504321 Idon'tcarewhich
----

If we're limiting the summary to 1 line, 70-75 chars, manditory cat/package
and bug number there's not a lot of room to summarize in.
