this is a common case for master, many patches do not have Bug-Url including features initially

true. Typically they don’t have to be as for user consumable features there is typically many patches, and eventually the final part of feature do have proper tracking, RFE and so on.

I do not see the current practice as problematic

Some of the projects decided not to use bugzilla. It’s a project decision, not an “official” decision affecting other projects.
In this case the reason is that a supposed feature triggered a code change in a side project using bugzilla. 
I would say in that case it either deserves a bugzilla on that side project, or we decide it’s not important, not a substantial part of the whole feature, and therefore doesn’t need to be documented/tracked in that side project and use Bug-Url-less commit to master.

github issue is fairly common so if we want to support something else in addition to bugzilla Bug-Url this would be a good candidate
