Well, if that's the issue then there are well known solutions to that.=20
Give each commitfest entry a tag, say, CF#8475 and add a bot to the
mail server that examines each email for this tag and if found adds it
to the CF app.

This could then easily track commit messages, emails on mailing list
and even bug reports.  (For example, someone replys to a bug report
with "See CF#8484" and then a reference to the bug thread gets pushed
into the CF app.)

It's also a searchable identifier, which is also useful for google.

We do this at my work, it's a very low barrier method of linking
different systems.

Have a nice day,
