[Development] Git commit hook keywords

Hi,

I have two minor questions:

1) How are new contributors (or even old time) supposed to use the git
commit hooks? Is it documented somewhere? Could something like that be
documented on, or referenced from the Gerrit introduction and contribution
pages? Currently the procedure is just to grep through the log which I
personally find unhandy. We have these well documented at the company and
also in KDE. This helps a lot in general.

2) We have been using "QTBUG-19037" throughout the changes, but what is the
preferred way of referring to a gerrit discussion? Currently, I do not see
any QTREVIEW-1 or similar keyword when browsing the log. I presume I could
use just the direct link for the time being or quote from the discussion.
However, it is sometimes better to give a clickable url to the commit
reader in the browser to a long discussion. Perhaps a QTREVIEW-1 or similar
could resolve the background link automatically as it happens in case of
the QTBUG-X keyword. If the direct url pasting is acceptable for the
community, then all fine.

Thank you in advance.

Laszlo
