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").
I'm +1 to this approach. The key thing for me is that we can't go back and do this later, so it's better to play it safe and do the rewrite to bpo-##### as described. I can *imagine* scenarios where we would wish we had re-written the commit messages, but at the point where we will be confident it's a good idea it will already be too later. -eric
