It's so hard to associate an issue with a PR on GitHub using this field, you cannot even paste the URL. If the original description of the PR didn't contain something like "fix #issue" it will be really hard to associate issue <-> PR

"Development" field to associate a PR to the issue.

There is some kind of Alf fetish in this site and 1) didn’t expect that, 2) I’m afraid to ask how it started, and 3) if you push (or hover) my face in davidcapello.com you may get one Alf like this:
