When we started this it seemed like the descriptive name would be easier to remember than the opaque ticket number.  I agree that was the wrong call, oddly enough, I do remember the ticket numbers more.  That said, we can switch as soon as all the currently outstanding branches are landed and deleted: https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/branches <https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/branches> ;-)
