What speaks against this is that users (those people who install distribution 
packages) are normally filing the bugs, so they won't be able to tell you 
which commit it is. Developers/hackers fix them or discuss them on IRC/Mail 
and are able to compile their own kernel. It doesn't make much sense to file 
bugs against each possible commit. Personally, I like people to file bugs on 
the relevant distro bugtackers (or whoever made the kernel package) and CC our 
mailing list on launchpad.

I think someone can add the launchpad bugtracker to the IRC channel topic. As 
said above, users won't use git anyway.
