 Sounds like an interesting project.

Thank you :).

 Well yes.  One outcome of the project would be to tell us what changes we'd
 need to make to our processes to make such data gathering more effective.

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.

 Of course, we may not actually implement such changes.  That would depend
 upon how useful the output is to us.

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?
