First:
$ hg log --template '{desc|firstline}\n' | grep '^[(]' | wc
0 0 0
$ hg log --template '{desc|firstline}\n' | grep '[)]$' | wc

We have a huge example corpus of commit summaries, and none of them have
the issue bit at the beginning.
Second: the actual text here is completely unhelpful. Are you saying it
doesn't work before or after this patch? Is that a good thing or a bad
thing? If it's a bad thing that you fixed, how did you fix it? Instead
-describe what you did-. For instance:
cat: added --follow flag (issue3253)

Insofar as I think getting the basics of patch submission down is much
more important for your GSoC project than this particular patch, I
skipped reading the actual code for now.
