New description:

 ''Wouldn't it be awesome if...''

 -any time a github pull request were created:

 1. the trac ticket number were parsed from the PR branch name,
 2. If the previous step succeeds update the trac ticket with a link.
 3. If step 1 fails, update the github PR to complain that the branch name
 is unusual (or even automatically reject it).

 There are also probably many other kinds of cross-linking which could be
 useful, but I prefer specific tickets, so I advocate filing different
 kinds of cross-linking as unique tickets.

 '''edit:''' Removed a statement contradicted by the first comment.
