I think it is good practise to mention where the backport comes from,
who developed and reviewed the original. At least the commit-id is
important, that way the backport can easily be compared to the original.
git does not know about Change-Ids, but does know commmit-ids :)

We should try to have all the needed details in the git repository, and
not rely on Gerrit for patch verification/checking. When I'm working on
a patch and wonder why/when something related was changed, I'll use the
local history, and do not want to depend on Gerrit.

Thanks,
Niels
