I defenitly agree here, the command's reliability could be increased
by always specifying bugfixes in a certain way. 'fixed-bug:' for
example should be very recognizable.

Ah yes, free will and whatnot. Then again, everybody already does
'signed-off-by:', if there's an easy command in git to mark a bugfix,
it would increase the odds of people using it. Perhaps something like
'git commit -b 10256" which would then automagically append a
predefined message to the commit users would feel more inclined?
