Trac has this nice feature by which one can close a ticket merely by indicating its #number in the associated fix commit message. Is there anything similar for Git? Plans to add it to our Trac environment?

I don't know about Trac, but with GitHub-based issues you can reference an issue by #number or commit via SHA and it will put the appropriate links in on both ends automagically. You can also use "closes #number" or "fixes #number" or a few other variations to automatically close the issue when the commit lands.

I think the plan is to continue using trac issues for the immediate future. There is a git plugin available for it, so I assume we can continue using comments as before once that's set up.
