It would be very handy if there were some direct link from Gerrit's web UI to
the Jira tracker for Gerrit, especially in these days when a lot of bugs and
usability questions are being shaken out for the first time.

The footer of every gerrit page has a link to the project site at
code.google.com.  That in turn links to the issue tracker.  I take it that is
insufficient?

That feels pretty roundabout to me, and in fact it took me a little while to
think of going that route to see.  I note that JIRA here has a direct "Bug/
feature request" link in the page footer.  That sort of thing is what I was
thinking.

No, this isn't a big deal.

Oh, I never noticed the JIRA bug/feature request link.

I'm only hesitant to embed the link in Gerrit because its likely this JIRA
instance won't stay at this domain name forever.  But maybe that's an argument
that it should at least remain a CNAME for the final hostname.   (We have in
the past considered moving this instance to "bugs.source.android.com" once
AOSP is using JIRA.)

Naming of the bug repository is a good point.  I agree that coming up with a
canonical "forever" name for the bug tracker, and only bothering with direct
links once that's settled, is the way to go.
