External bug trackers

Some bugs could be reported on external bug trackers, bugzilla for example. In that case you need to follow these steps:
- Create an issue in the repo that duplicates the bug. Don't just copy and paste the bug though, reword the title and description so that they follow the style of other issues. Add additional info and insight if you got any. Finally, add a link to the bug tracker to the description.
- When the bug is fixed and issue is closed, follow the link to the bug tracker and write something along the lines of "Solution for the bug was found and will be deployed in version x.y.z".
- Still not sure on one point though - whether to close the external bug when fix is committed or when the fix is deployed in a release version. Closing bug early is more convenient but closing the bug later is more in line with how external bug trackers are about the state of release versions rather than the master branch.
