I've been poked at this for other firmware too, and I tend to dislike
non-public bug tracker IDs in public repositories.

I have an idea of using git-notes to have a local tree of `fixes` (even
added retroactively) that could then be queried/modified that would suit
this kind of use case.

Of course, finding enough time to write the couple of hundred lines of
python to do that has been elusive :)
