Use a GitHub supported workitem pattern in git commit message

EWM supports following patterns in the Git commit message to denote a reference to a EWM workitem:
workitem
task
rtcwi < Work Item ID>
bug
defect
Based on the pattern, links to workitems get created and a browser extension (which is broken meanwhile) can generate hyperlinks to the referenced workitems.

GitHub supports a different pattern that is comprised of a per-repository defined prefix and the workitem id, see attachment 935.
There are some restrictions for the Prefix: There Reference prefix must begin with a letter, Reference prefix must not end with a number, and Reference prefix must only contain letters, numbers, or -:/
Based on the pattern, GitHub can display hyperlinks to the according workitems in EWM ("Autolink references" Feature).

A pattern shall be defined which is supported by all tools.

    without this little change loads of manual backreferences to our github stuff would emerge and our effectiveness and support to migrate away from Jira might starve ? I hope we get more customers on board with increased digestabillity for github power users. Good luck.
