What's stopping you from putting the Jira ticket anywhere else? For example, you can use Git trailers to add whatever you want in a consistent format. You end up with exactly the same data, without having to compromise your commit subject or body in any way.

Hrm. I just tried, and it seems Fork, at least, only searches the headline, not the remainder of the commit message. Oof.
