sure but the dev need to use the canonical abbreviation because we
have bot that use them to detect association between commit and bugs
that is not the case on Ask for instance

How many place could one possibly be looking for 'regression' ... what
confusing meaning lo could have in this context... beside you could
use libreoffice bugzilla or 'salt mines' in that context it would not
matter much... it is human to human interractions... the issue is that
dev have to put stuff in their commit message to talk to Bot
so one cannot be as creative there :-)
