OK, executive decision: let's test a rewrite but only for things that match the regex at the beginning of the commit message (using Senthil's long list of possible formats so we get "bpo-NNNN" and not "Issue bpo-NNNN"). That won't have any false-positives and still gets us consistent issue naming for the whole repo (at least in the commit summary line, but that will also act as a scope to the commit that any ambiguous "#NNNN" numbers apply to bpo). If this test doesn't lead to people being happy we will abandon the idea of any history rewriting for tomorrow.
Note that matching only the beginning of the message will miss several recent commits like: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/7b8df4a5d81d https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/31342913fb1e https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/37705f89c72b There is also the issue of multiple issue numbers in a message: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/a5538734cc87 https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/ffc0840762e4 -- Zach
