How difficult would it be to maintain reasonably current code, were we to
switch out a different set of IDs? Do you have any sense for how extensible
the tool is, particularly for integration with JIRA, shindig-commit@, et al?

In general I'm all for it, particularly since it already works (per your
example).. at least for patches to start. It's far better than reading
manually through diffs in email.
