People are advised to mention bug numbers in commit messages, but this
is only a helper. The main activity happens while tagging (and modules
are rather granular and recommended to be tagged often) - apart from
placing a tag, developer is expeced to write a summary of changes,
mentioning both all the bug numbers and other changes if any. There is
some intranet web application to handle entry of those data, report
them in different ways, review history, edit to correct mistakes etc.
