I am not representative since I commit few fixes.  Well, I have a tiny
helper that pushes to the kill ring:

<https://github.com/zimoun/my-conf/blob/master/.config/emacs/lisp/funs.el#L271>

Especially reading bug#45314 in Debbugs mode, I type “M-x
my/guix-issues” then the URL ’http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/45314’ is
stashed.  If not in debbugs mode, as here in message mode, the tiny
helper asks the bug number then pushes it to the kill ring.  This tiny
helper is far from perfect, any improvements is welcome. :-) Especially
if it is already provided by an Emacs command.

About the brackets, I type them.


Aside I thought the convention was <http://bugs.gnu.org/45314> tough for
bug fix commit.  Anyway.


Hope that helps,
simon
