Linking to changes in Commons components

Hi there,

what's the best way to link (as in JIRA) to changes in Commons 
components, such as IO?

AFAICT, only *bugs* have a Jira ticket.

The Release Notes (as in 
<https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/changes.html#a2.22.0>) 
list the changes, but the individual changes do not have a unique 
identifier.

I'm currently using a link into Github - such as 
<https://github.com/apache/commons-io/blob/274cd956de35dc664a2caca200c2d73b2b37efdc/RELEASE-NOTES.txt#L48> 
- is there a better way to do this?

(Context: <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-13268>).

Best regards, Julian
