Damn, you noticed! No, it's not (yet?) possible.

That would work for us, but not in the general case (for other
projects). I was thinking of using some kind of other heuristic, eg.
(subject, commit message, files touched) with a levenshtein distance on
text to allow typo correction.

Just for us, we could take a shortcut and make dim do something always
correct based on the message-id, I'll have a think.
