Subject: [ruby-core:67701] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10760] [Open] NEWS file should include ticket / reference

Issue #10760 has been reported by Zachary Scott.

----------------------------------------
Bug #10760: NEWS file should include ticket / reference
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10760

* Author: Zachary Scott
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* ruby -v: 2.3.0
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Currently our [NEWS](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/NEWS) file doesn't include any reference to the change, just a brief description.

I think we should follow similar conventions to Rails [release notes](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/guides/source/4_2_release_notes.md) and include this reference. It doesn't have to be a link, just a simple [Feature #8888] and will help users who are upgrading to easier find the background of these changes.

I don't suggest retroactive for existing releases, but for current development (2.3.0) we should make this a priority.
