Just one comment in addition to the others already made:

The UI may not want to promise that the bug is fixed, just that the  
commit "relates to" a specific bug.

We have a system like this where I work.  Commits can be associated  
with a bug, and the commits show up in the bug report.  It is not  
unheard of for a bug to require more than one commit.  Sometimes you  
think you solved the bug but there was a deeper issue. :)

So I'd be opposed to using the word "--fixes" there.  Something like  
"--bug" would be more honest.
