Similar to that, I was wondering if we should define a standard method
to refer to a bug/PR number in a git trailer.  For example, for a commit
fixing an issue:

  Fixes: PR gdb/1234

Sometimes, you make a commit that is related to a PR but does not fix it
(for example, add a KFAIL-ed test).  In that case, it should be
something else than "Fixes".

What do people use normally for thse things?  Is it necessary, or just
mentioning "PR gdb/1234" somewhere in the commit message's free text
will be enough to automatically link the commit to the PR?
