Change Details

Right now, we have the "Bug: 12345" keyword, which causes Gerrit Notification Bot to comment and mark the bug as PATCH_NEEDS_REVIEW and comment again when it's merged. However, it doesn't mark it as Resolved: Fixed when it's merged. I think this is because tagging it with a Bug number does not always mean the bug is always fixed. If there were a Fixes-Bug keyword, that would allow automatically marking the bug as fixed without ambiguity. Using this keyword would mean that the current patch set alone is sufficient to fix the bug (any prior steps are already merged). "Bug: 12345" would remain available, for when the patch set was just one step towards fixing the bug. -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: enhancement
