Description

At times, I have found it hard to track a particular JIRA to a gerrit patch and vice versa to gain more context on a submitted change, code review discussions, etc. I am hoping this will bridge the gap between the review system and JIRA tracking.

Currently, all of our commits do not carry JIRA numbers, but this could be applicable to whichever gerrit patch carries one in its commit message. I have come across such scripts before, so spinning one shouldn't be that hard. Though not as fancy as the below link, we could just add a gerritt link to JIRA comment section whenever a change is submitted(or perhaps posted for review).
