x/build: need a "mentions this issue" bot

[bradfitz]

Because we're using Gerrit, we're not getting Github's normal "mentions this issue" references on the Issue Tracker when a commit referencing "Fixes #nnnn" is pushed to Gerrit.

Are we going to have a bot provide this, like we did on code.google.com?

Russ wrote the original bot. Not sure how hard/easy gerrit is to poll,
compared to rietveld.

I just found out that if you use "git clone --mirror" to clone the official repo,
you will find every single active CL in packed-refs file with every revision
available.

For example,
cf348fb refs/changes/00/1200/1
8eb8b40 refs/changes/00/1200/2
69ab69c refs/changes/00/1400/1
661d1da refs/changes/00/1400/2
afc2890 refs/changes/00/1400/3
0cc6d18 refs/changes/00/1500/1

Looking for all commits in refs/changes namespace, and then "git cat-file -p"
each commit.

You don't even need to use Gerrit API for this.

Interestingly, those orphaned commits are also present in the github mirror.

This got done.
