RFE: Add relevant git commit messages as comments in the relevant Bugzillas

Description

When a bug moves to MODIFIED, can we add the relevant commit message(s) to the bug?
I see it happening in RHEL from time to time, and I think it's easier (for us and QE) then clicking on the link to Gerrit.

I'm not sure we really need it, you have the commit msg listed in the external trackers already in each bug.
Also, this will spam people on the bug and we'll have to do complex parsing on comments to avoid duplication.

Can we close this ?

Anton, how much effort do you think this will need to add it to Gerrit Hooks?

I also think this should be communicated before adding, people sometimes don't like new automatic info added to bugs without a good reason.

We'll also need to think what do you do in case there are multiple external trackers attached to the bug, which is the case most of the time, do you start "spamming" the bug with commit messages from each tracker? sometimes it can be as much as 10 different patches.

What about if there are trackers from multiple projects, a quite common scenario with oVirt bugs (e.g vdsm + engine + jsonrpc) , do you add all the commit messages then?

We've seen issues with current new comments added to bugs when they can't move to ON_QA, it has the potential of causing more noise than good, so we really need to think if and how we want to implement this before moving forward.
