>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.
