I've implemented some like that for my personal issue tracker, based
on the PGP word list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGP_word_list).
Each ticket id is converted into hexadecimal, and the first six hex
digit are used to look up word. For example, I have tickets such as
"REPAY RETRACTION MERIT" and "BEFRIEND CELEBRATE DROPPER". For my
issue tracker, ticket ids are random 64-bit digits, which helps. I'm
not sure how well this would work for sequential integers.
