The webkit-patch script should support a placeholder for the bug number so that you can create a patch (without having a bug number first), then the ChangeLog gets the correct bug number included just before it lands.  This would be similar to the "NOBODY (OOPS!)" placeholder for the reviewer, but would work for the bug number itself.

I originally thought the bug number should be replaced in the patch when initially creating the bug, but it would also work to simply insert the bug number when the patch was landed by the commit-queue or by webkit-patch manually.

I thought the following placeholders should work (maybe others?):

<http://webkit.org/b/00000>
<https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=00000>

This one should probably work as well (although I prefer to have URLs to click on, so I'm okay with leaving it out):
