I'll share some more, spotted during the last few days and while
finalizing the contents of 4.7 thanks to anonym's help:

* It would be nice if we could close tickets from a commit message,
e.g. when merging a branch, as we used to be able to with “Closes:
#N”. It might not be important on the long run if we standardize for
always using a MR, but I'd be happy not to have to remember closing
tickets manually while we deal with the many topic branches we have.
Various attempts seems to have failed (d4ffd3ebc60c, 7f5361119001).

* One might think “just use a MR” as a reply to the aforementioned
point but right now, I'm not convinced… The commit message doesn't
mention bug(s) getting fixed, doesn't contain a direct link to the
MR, and just a reference the interested reader needs to resolve on
their own. Of course, for single-bug topic branches, the name might
be sufficient. For longer-lived branches (overlayfs, secure boot,
etc.), I'm pretty sure all bugs won't be mentioned in the branch's
name.
