I don't object to people writing longer commit messages, but that

Yes, 'hg bzexport' defaults to copying the commit message into a bug
comment.

Heh. Yes, bzexport will copy the commit message into a comment. 1 point in its favor.

If you use it to create bugs (via the --new flag), it will use the first line of the commit message as the default bug title. Which goes against what has been repeatedly requested in this thread, in that the bug title is what is wrong, the commit message is what is being done to fix it. 1 point against. (Though arguably this is ok for feature request bugs.)

(bzexport was also written in the mq era and has some deficiencies when using it with a more modern workflow. It's fixable, but it needs some work.)
