For what it's worth, NAME-12345 is the way JIRA handles autolinking of
references, since it assumes the JIRA instance is specific to a
particular organisation and lets you specify short prefix codes for
the projects.

One benefit of a hyphen based syntax would be reducing the temptation
to add in the "#" before the issue number.

Cheers,
Nick.
