Worst-case, for those cases we add URLs to the tracker manually like you
do now. The big advantage is that most of the time that's not needed.
And in cases where it's not automatic we can grant any number of people
permission to add that information to the tracker, because that
permission wouldn't be tied to CVS commit privs.
