Linking from the description is enough.

I changed the description, but the ticket came after this Mr, so it's not in the commit message, and I'm not at my laptop and can't amend the message.

Please reference #2 (closed) in the merge request or commit message so that it is automatically closed should this merge request be accepted.

My bad, I made a mistake here. Fix is in !5 (merged)

While updating today I noticed that I made a mistake in !4 (merged)

No problem! Thank you for the MR, these are always much appreciated!

Thanks for merging 🙏

LGTM but I'll be making a few changes after it's been pulled in, i.e. the deleted patch is actually used to ensure that the package is reproducible.
