Thanks for setting this up.

How easy would it be to set up automatic URL generation in the web UI
from regexes on the text of commit subjects/message? 

GCC has its own short notation for referring to commits, see e.g. 

https://forge.sourceware.org/gcc/gcc-mirror/commit/83abdb041426b7490e93c3f77be93148bcd94de3
where I wrote:
"I believe this hasn't been necessary since r15-1413-gd3878c85f331c7."
It would be nice if the "r15-1413-gd3878c85f331c7" were to get auto-
urlified in the web UI to
https://forge.sourceware.org/gcc/gcc-mirror/commit/d3878c85f331c7

Similarly, in GCC we use the notation PRnnnnnn or PR component/nnnnnn
to refer to "problem reports" in bugzilla.  Looking at e.g.
https://forge.sourceware.org/gcc/gcc-mirror/commit/65c5bbe1c92f9c08e99d3a37c136f2ef9804a37f
it would be nice if the "PR114423" in the subject line and the 
"PR preprocessor/114423" in the ChangeLog fragments in the commit log
got auto-urlified in the web UI to:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114423

Other projects sharing the forgejo instance have other notations,
policies, and bug tracker instances, of course.

FWIW I seem to recall seeing something like this working in the
instance that was recently demoed at Cauldron.

Hope this is constructive; thanks again
Dave
