Hi,

I'd like to see if we can build consensus on the removal of the
Change-Id git trailer, as proposed in
<https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/1740> (and hinted at in GCD-003).

For context, the Change-Id hook was initially added so that we could
eventually have a system with Mumi where we it could scan for issues to
close automatically if a PR commit(s) Change-Ids had already been added
to the tree.  This hasn't materialized, and now that we are on Codeberg,
we're still carrying the mildly annoying Change-Ids as a legacy, which
get in the way when amending commit messages.

They provide some value in that you can search Codeberg for a Change-Id
to find the PR in which it was reviewed/merged, but I doubt many of us
are using this on a regular basis (?). I'd also propose that if this is
important to us we should look into baking it in a git commit header
instead [0], which would both be more robust and remove the commit
message clutter.

Any thoughts?
