tracking id doesn't generate hyperlinks

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Affected Version: 2.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. set this in etc/gerrit.config
[trackingid "bugzilla"]
        footer = Ticket
        system = Bugzilla
        match = \\b(\\d{1,10})\\b

2. push a commit to Gerrit to be reviewed, the commit's message
contains line Ticket: 33,44 55 66, 77

3. The multiple tracking ids are distinguished correctly as I can
search them in the search box, but these tracking ids don't have
hyperlinks showed in commit message on Gerrit web UI.

The commentlink feature can be used to link "Ticket:33, Ticket:44",
but it's hard to match "Ticket:33, 44" things, the trackingid feature
can parse "Ticket:33, 44, ...." but doesn't generate links:-(

Often the tracking ids are bug ids in bug tracking system, thus
it's very helpful to show them as hyperlinks in commit message.

I also wonder why the two exist. Looks like they are there to achieve the same 
thing.

trackingid and commentlink features provide different functionality. However, 
it makes sense that trackingid feature would be extended with adding hyperlinks.
