I was thinking that it would make far more sense to use "Bug" for Gentoo bugs, and use something like "Reference" or "Remote-Bug" for non-Gentoo bugs. 99% of the time commits will reference a Gentoo bug. If you wanted to reference others you'd probably have it linked in the Gentoo bug anyway so duplicating it in the commit seems wasteful. In any case, I think what matters is picking one format and then sticking it in the repoman template so that people don't have to type it. Also, I suggest using either URLs or bug numbers, but not both. Otherwise you end up having to copy the URL over, then copy the ID only and paste it in the summary. That is an extra step. -- Rich
