I would like to loosen up the branch naming requirements, it will make it
harder for people to contribute little things coming from the "GitHub"
world, it's not something I see too much outside of the workplace. Also the
generated branches on GitHub from a PR are using the ids.  I'm not trying
to bring tooling in, but I think we should be aware of this and I think it
brings minimal gain. I would be more in favor of the title or body of a PR
doing the linking if we really need the standard to link things together.
We need to be very sensitive to increases in complexity or we will loose
new contributors.

The rest sounds good. I would say let's start minimal and work up if we
find quality or complexity issues.
