Two things:

1. What about Maciej's earlier comment:

I'm guessing that's gonna be a ugly usability issue if all the old github commit pages offer invalid links for all of the old #nnnnn references.  Or am I missing something there?

2. What about Misc/NEWS entries?  Are we going to continue to ask committers to use the old format (Issue #nnnnn) there?  Note these are currently auto-linked in the docs builds, e.g. https://docs.python.org/3.6/whatsnew/changelog.html.
