The "view it on Github" is a link to the message. So I can see what this  
is about. But it would be nice if the pull request title was more  
descriptive. I don't know what issue 12419 is.

Please note, I am not complaining about the volume of pull request  
chatter, this is great! But the title of the pull request should describe  
what it logically is without having to click through to a bug report or

If you want to say "fix issue XXX", please repeat the bug title at least.

I keep saying the same thing to pull makers. When I'm not too busy I
also rename their pull request to add the title description.

Another thing I keep mentioning is to add a link to the bugzilla issue
in the pull request.

Yes, indeed. I think it's just polite to include a link to the bugzilla issue
as 
well as a link in the bugzilla issue back to the PR.

It does say this in the wiki:

Don't forget you can edit the titles of other people's pull requests!

Though I agree with everything you said, it is possible to 
"watch" a repository without receiving email notifications, for 
those who are fine with just the web interface's notification 
system.

It's not the notifications I dislike, I actually like emails much better  
than dealing with the interface, I can delete ones I'm not going to look  
at.

It's the requirement to click through to find out what the email is about.  
Might as well get an email that says "Something changed" :)

I see that anyone can change the pull request title. That is a good  
solution, let's anyone who sees such a pull request notify the author of  
the requirement to be more descriptive, and change it when we see it.

Thanks!

Yeah, that does get on my nerves sometimes too. But I do nothing 
about it, so I'm not part of the solution. I guess I should now.

Also, when fixing an issue, *please* provide a link to said 
issue. Searching for "XXX" in the bug repo myself is un-necessary 
overhead.

Tip: go to Bugzilla, right-click the "Search" field at the top, 
and select "Create search". Assign a keyboard (e.g. "db" for "D 
Bugs"), and then you can go to any issue by typing "db NNNNN" in 
the address bar (or search Bugzilla by entering search terms 
instead of NNNNN).

I do it an even easier way. I go to a bugzilla issue from my browser history, 
then edit the address with a new NNNNN :-)

Good tips (Walter, I mostly use your strategy), but still 
something I shouldn't have to put up with.

I'd simply call it common decency to link whatever you are 
talking to...

I know exactly what you are talking about. I had this same issue 
with git at one of my previous jobs. We used to have commit 
messages that were tied to tickets, and we'd have messages like, 

so and so." So my coworkers noticed this, thought referencing the 
bug was a good idea and switched... only to writing the bug 
number in the commit message and nothing else. So 'git log' read 
kind of like this.






It was really frustrating.

Sounds like there's considerable agreement (including me).  So.. make sure pull
requests have the 
appropriate info.  If one doesn't, prompt the requester to include it.  If
there's wiki nodes out 
there that describe the pull request process, make sure it includes appropriate
instructions.  Etc. 
  This is a very easy to solve issue.. just some habits to be (re-)formed.

I made this userscript a few years ago, when D development was 
moved to GitHub:

http://dump.thecybershadow.net/b7d2e2759116df7a83ee2f4678856a1e/dbuglinks.user.js

It acts on the "issue NNNN" pattern, because the "#NNNN" pattern 
is already used by GitHub to link to its issues / pull requests.
