Ah, then what you want is the back-link: finding the patch from the bug
tracker.

How about just pasting the link to the patchwork thread manually when
closing the bug? It would save some developer time if we had a
post-receive hook for updating Trac automatically when someone pushes
the fix. GCC does this to update Bugzilla from Subversion.

BTW, at the bottom of git-bz's homepage, I've found a link to this
"possibly related article" which in fact bashes git-gz :-)
