I would love a git-bz equivalent for this so I can use it for the
projects I contribute to on GitHub ;)

This reminds me, does GitLab allow you to review the commit message of
a patch or series of patches or does it hide it away like GitHub does?
I often forget to review the syntax and content of the commit message
because of this on GitHub, and this is probably quite important for
GNOME projects.
