Yes, I use it. I have added this feature in the admin panel, provided
by Bitbucket:

$ hg ci -m "blablablba fixes #12"   -> add a link to the diff in the
issue #12 and close it

$ hg ci -m "blablablba refs #12"   -> add a link to the diff in the
issue #12, but don't close it.

That sounds very cool ! As the QA master I guess your next steps would be:

- to set up a bbot for distribute (you can PV me so we can work on the
details with Titus that has offered some slave hosting too)

-  to watch all commits going on and blame people that don't do tests,
or make comments on the quality of the commited code. An extra pair of
eyes is great for that. Granted that we could all do that, but QA
needs a lead or it slowly dies imho.

I think we would all very appreciate it if you could help on this!
