Streamlining issue tracker integration

I have used the TurtleMine plugin (issue tracker integration with
Redmine) but I feel the process of clicking the Redmine Issues button,
searching for the issue, eventually finding it, and adding it to the
commit message is too laborious.

My vision is that at the commit message is continually scanned for
issue tags, eg strings matching /#[0-9]+/
When one of these is encountered, tortoise should do whatever needs to
be done to get a short summary of the issue from the tracker,
something like: "Bug #143: It crashes all the time!" In the meantime,
the user may continue to write their commit message, and their flow is
not interrupted.
When this information is retrieved, it is shown somewhere on the
commit dialog. No extra screens should be involved. Perhaps it could
go next to/below the Recent Messages button.

I have 4 questions:

1) Is this possible with the current issue tracker interface?
2) Are there docs on using the current issue tracker interface?
3) I guess this sort of thing shouldn't go into the tortoiseSVN core,
but a plugin of some sort. Is this possible?
4) I am interested in implementing this myself. Are there any
suggestions as to where I should start?
