I am sorry if I am slow but I do not understand.

$ git var GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT

Therefore this Change-Id can be different for the same series, depending
when I am locally committing. No?
And sorry if I am slow but I am also missing your answer about “How can
you correlate Change-Id to a patch in the tracker?”. How is this
Change-Id correlated to the Debbugs number?
Let take an example. :-) Assume Change-Id was used for your submission
bug#65280 about Qt. It reads many patches and we have:

>From my understanding,
1. GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT depends on time so these two commits would have
a different Change-Id, no?
2. How is Change-Id linked to #65280?
