It seems like there is actually not a consensus on this. (I had thought
Smaug's view was the consensus, and found bz's post surprising.)

Both approaches have tradeoffs. There's a good reason we require the bug
number front and center in a commit message. But I dare you to read the Web
Replay bug <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1207696> for
context; it's currently on comment 366. (Granted, that bug should have been
subdivided, but there are other examples.)

If this is worth settling, we should definitely *not* settle it on this
list. A mailing list is fine for making one's case or pointing out issues,
but the final decision should be made by a small group of engineering
leadership, and then documented on wiki.m.o. (If it isn't there already! I
looked but couldn't find anything definitive...)
