It is required that these are the last lines of the message.
Gerrit looks at the last paragraph and parses these "footer lines",
looking for a Change-Id to match against.  FWIW, gitk also uses
this rule, as does EGit History view, and they style these footer
lines in a slightly different color from the rest of the body.
I have yet to do the same in Gerrit.
