1360034 - Show bug ID field in Nightly release notes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Release notes, enhancement)

Description

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1359037 +++

Currently release notes doesn't show bug IDs even though each entry usually comes with the relevant bug ID field. For now, Pascal is manually adding bug references to each entry's text field (see Bug 1359037). Should we show references, if available, to make notes more informative?

I would rather not for beta & release. Bug for new features are generally meta bugs (so, a list of dependencies)
Bugs are too complex and not for general consumption.

However, maybe we could display them only for nightly

I agree with Sylvestre about it not being needed for beta and release (might attract off-topic/spam comments too), but I would like them for Nightly.

Got it. Let's show a bug ID following the description, only in the Firefox Nightly release notes.

Could you try with the bug # on the same line ?

I also initially thought inline bug IDs might work better, but sometimes descriptions contain a list or several links like this:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/52.0/releasenotes/

So I think an ID in a separate line looks cleaner.

I'll have to agree on that. I really like the attached screenshot.
