I haven't double checked, but I think the issue number has to be in
square brackets to be recognized.  Presumably that's a change that
could be made.  What is lacking is someone willing to climb the
relatively steep learning curve needed to submit patches for that
part of the system, and some one of us with the keys to the tracker
with time to apply the patch.  Given the former I think we can
manage the latter.

I believe Ezio did try to make rietveld update the tracker, and ran
into a problem whose nature I don't know...but I don't think he spent
a whole lot of time trying to debug the problem, whatever it was.
I imagine he'll chime in :)
