One of the modules that I develop (gnome-shell) has very strict code
review policies. If we want a paper trail of reviews, the typical
thing to do is to link to a Bugzilla bug in the commit message, which
has patch review comments.

How does that fit into our GitHub flow? Do I review a pull request,
and link to it in the commit message? Again, that means that our
workflow now depends on GitHub.
