No need to wait, I put together a script that shows the result of the
rewriting :)
The script checks against roundup, so invalid ids are not converted.
I'm currently tweaking it as I find issues, so it's still a bit messy,
but this should give you a good idea.

Drop the attached script in the root of your cpython clone and run it with:
  python convcm.py (to see 100 random converted commit messages)
  python convcm.py csid1 csid2 (to see the specified changeset ids)
The script will create an output.html file that shows the before/after.
It will also cache the valid ids in a valid_ids.json files.

There are still a few ambiguous cases, in particular:
* I left "SF", so "SF issue #12345" becomes "SF bpo-12345";
* I left "patch", so "Apply patch #12345" becomes "Apply patch bpo-12345";

Senthil is also testing the conversion using this regex.
