It is already very helpful to see the link directly to the commit which applied the code to allow a project's given issue to be closed.
It would be even more helpful to repeat this same commit link (and maybe some commit meta like date) from the Issue Status block as well so that when users are reviewing Release Notes with links into the Issue Queue, the final commit can be most easily found.

texas-bronius commentedIn some cases, there is additional chatter following a closed or final commit on a queue. This would prevent having to both scroll all the way to the bottom and parse some comments before finding the commit.

avpadernoThis is a feature request for the module handling the issues, or for a custom module used on drupal.org.

drummThere is a disabled block which shows all of the issue’s related commits, so this is technically doable. That issue, and the reasoning for not having it enabled already is at #443000-50: When viewing an issue, display a list of commits that reference that issue #.
The main concern is UX - will this be useful enough to justify the space used on an already busy page, is there a good place to fit it in, would people like to see the last commit for each branch, all commits, etc.
An additional “Jump to comment” links would be another option for surfacing this.

drummI just noticed #2496697: Enable 'Related commits' (was Related operations) block on issue pages is also open. Either this issue or that issue should probably be closed as a duplicate, since both are about adding commit(s) to the sidebar.

texas-bronius commentedThanks for keeping this idea alive and well-curated. At a glance I agree it is related to but maybe not a duplicate of #2496697: Enable 'Related commits' (was Related operations) block on issue pages.
Your idea of a jump-to-comment is really good: minimal clutter, and it includes more context than just a commit and any amount of additional commit-related meta one might wish to see there. Also, no page load time like a link to some additional page would be.
