This was based on the assumption that for backports we follow a certain discipline wrt to pull requests where the corresponding issue is either mentioned as a part of commit message or as a comment on the pull request https://gist.github.com/theanalyst/a0932d863a8f4b0d1b98 It is still not perfect, but kind of helped me cut down on the manual work of tracking down issue urls when not mentioned in the commit message. >> >> You'll need GitPython (pip install gitpython).

When a merge is found, git log xxx^1..xxx^2 will list the commits that belong to the branch that has been merged.
