It would be fantastic if we find a way for mumi to index (via xapian)
the "Change-Id", enabling us to provide a query like this: (is:open and
change-id:<ID>).  I don'r know if this is doable by mumi alone or if it
needs Debbugs to be able to manage the new "Change-Id" attribute.

If there is enough consensus I volunteer to collect ideas and send a
feature request to the mumi and/or Debbugs devels (if we need Debbugs
patches I guess it will be a long term goal)

IMO a link like this is _very_ useful in helping bug tracking management
(and also for historians :-) ) and we should find a way to manage that.

Also for this reason (other that possibly automated bug closing) IMO
committers should add a "Fixes: <namespace>#<bugnum>" signature (or what
is called in Git) to each commit with an associeted bug report.

WDYT?
