That would be nice long-term. I guess we just need to be clear during the immediate transition what the expectation for committers are about what forms they need to use in the commit messages and in Misc/NEWS. That needs to be spelled out in transition announcements and in the devguide to minimize confusion, especially if they will no longer be the same, e.g "bpo-NNNNN" in the commit message but "Issue #NNNNN" in Misc/NEWS.<br class="gmail_msg"></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes.
