--- Comment #5 from Krinkle <[email protected]> ---
Can we please just settle on a format (be it the top in parenthesis or the
bottom as a footer).

I really can't believe there's been bikeshedding on this on the mailinglist,
and then to end up some of the people involved implementing a patch to give the
old format some of the advantages the new code has? That doesn't solve
anything.

We're going to enforce one format. One format to recommend to people to use in
writing commit messages. One format for Gerrit to extract bug references from
for searching. One format for wmf-branch maker to render notes from. One format
for gerrit-bugzilla bot (if/when that happens) to extract references from.

Supporting both is *not* an option. It just isn't. It only makes things harder
to maintain (duplicating logic everywhere for everything related to commit
messages, twice). And aside from maintaining code and spending time on that, it
is also costing towards reviewers. Sometimes having those <bias> useless
unclickable numbers show up in the title bar and e-mail headlines, and
sometimes not.</bias> Sometimes opening it up and looking down for the link,
and sometimes looking up for the link.

I think the footer is where this information belongs, but whatever. Doing both
is *not* an option.
