I personally, and I realize that I'm likely alone on that, would really
like to see references to relevant threads. A year after a commit or
such it often starts to get hard to know which threads a commit was
about. Often it's easy enough if it's about a single feature, but
bugfixes often originate in threads that have no directly corresponding
thread. And often the commit happens a while after there's been activity
in a thread. I spent days searching what thread "per discussion" in
commit messages refers to.
