How are your changes / commits linked with the issues?

For the Gerrit development we have the convention to include a "Bug" footer into the commit message that links to the issue that is being fixed, e.g.:
Bug:  issue 999 

If you have such a convention you can use a query similar to this:
project:tools/gerrit message:" issue 999 "

In the long run the idea is to support arbitary labels on changes (see  issue 287 ) which are searchable. Then you can put the issue number as label on a change, e.g. put create a label with such a format " Bug999 ". You could then e.g. query for all changes that have a "Bug*" label.

Not only do we have "message:" as a search operator, but we also have tr:/bug: which rely on the trackingid extraction configured in gerrit.config. Unfortunately since this is server-level policy and not project-level, we cannot use it on review.source.android.com for gerrit itself. But for individual servers it can work well, and does for the egit.eclipse.org server.
