I gave an examples of two specific meaningful benefit above: 1) it provides a clickable link without second guessing where to go for command line users 2) provides stable reference to the hosting of issues Note that for example github uses exactly the same format for referencing issues. That means that it's unclear what we are referring.

The shortened issue names are ambiguous and the hosting has no way in figuring out where to point to. Providing full URL is not something which should be described as "no meaningful benefit" but it actively disambiguates the links regardless of where it's hosted or refered from.
