I'm personally not a fan of the Gerrit change-IDs in plain form, because I can't use them with commands like 'git log' or 'git show' without grepping through commit messages. They tie us pretty heavily to Gerrit as the gateway to all info as opposed to using Git's native lookup capabilities.
I personally like them, but your concerns are valid.
One proposal:
- Gerrit URLs for links on Bugzilla, links on wikis, follow-up to
un-merged commits
Sounds fine. That's why we have the "gerrit 123" linking in BZ.
- Commit SHA-1s for deployment log entries and follow-ups to merged commits
We'd have to come up with an auto-linking regex for this. Right now the I... hashes (gerrit change-ids) will auto-link in the Gerrit UI.
