A friendly reminder that per the MDN commit rules, the use of "No bug" in
the commit message is to be used sparingly - in general for minor things
like whitespace changes/comment fixes/etc where traceability isn't as
important.

I've come across uses of "No bug" commits recently where entire upstream
imports of vendored libraries were done. This is bad for multiple reasons:
* If makes sheriffing difficult - if the patch is broken and needs backing
out, where should the comment go? When it gets merged to mozilla-central,
who gets notified?
* It makes tracking a pain - what happens if that patch ends up needing
uplift? What about when that patch causes conflicts with another patch
needing uplift? What if it causes a regression and a blocking bug needs to
be filed?

Bugs are cheap. Please use them.

Thanks,
Ryan
