I actually prefer bug numbers in the header.
When looking at the gerrit dashboard it's useful to see from the
commit message whether it is a bug or enhancement to determine what
code I should review first (bugs always win).
I also tend to write very verbose commit messages so I like to put the
bug in the header so the message itself can be ignored if necessary.
Apologies in advanced if I have started another bike shed conversation.. :D

Hi,
This is a friendly reminder to everyone about the preferred way to
link to bugs in your commit messages. When you include them as
part of the footer, they are indexed and are thus searchable. For
example:
"""
Fixing some weird bug
More explanation
Blah blah blah.
Bug: 1234
Change-Id: Ia90.....
"""
So when you do this, you're able to search for "bug:1234" via Gerrit.
By doing this, you're also removing it from the first line (which was
our old habit, mostly from SVN days), providing you more space to
be descriptive in that first line.
