Certainly most do, but some counterexamples:
* Unreviewed build fixes sometimes do not reference a bug
* When fixing a new compiler warning or build failure, I often
reference the bug that introduced the problem, rather than reporting a
new one just to have a new hyperlink for the commit message
* We probably don't need a bug report for stuff like "update my email
address in contributors.json" or "fix typo in comment"
Anyway, it doesn't matter terribly much what wording we use.
