Re: A suggestion for "Get Involved" page

The tdf# is important because it gives a reference to bugzilla, and some automatic mechanisms use 
that.

The <short description of bug> is to describe what was the problem. For most bugs you cannot 
(should not) describe how you solved it in just one line.

If you look at the commit messages, most people have a rather long description of how is was 
solved, which is good to get understanding of the patch.

A script can collect both the title (first line) as well as the full text, use the REST-API for 
that. You can e.g. find one in dev-tools (work in progress) esc-mentoring.py
