How we use Git, part 2

Bugzilla developers with checkin rights may want to create topic
branches in git for development of significant patches. For example, if
I had thought about it, I would probably have done the new docs work
this way, rather than forking on github.

Based on something I read elsewhere, can I propose we have a convention
that such a branch is named with the bug number and the person's nick,
so we know who to contact about a branch?

So my big patch, that glob is in the middle of reviewing, to split login
names from email addresses would have branch name "218917-gerv".

Does that make sense?
