>From rtg:

  I think there are a couple of good reasons for doing this.

  1) I'm a lazy typist. I find it quite convenient to simply click on the
  Buglink URL and be presented with the bug page.

  2) The 'Bug:' field implies a certain context, which is useless when
  pushing our patches upstream. Rather then having to cleanse patches of
  irrelevant information, lets put it in the commit in an interesting and
  useful form to begin with. I suspect, given the feedback that Amit has
  already received from Andrew Morton, that the 'Bug:' field will not be
  well received in general.

  3) Finally, if we start developing for the upstream kernel (as we will
  if I get my way), we can take advantage of BugLink goodness
  automatically as our upstream patches show up in stable and other
  places.
