Of the forms I've seen, I prefer:

  * BTS parser fix (closes: #9999)

... or similar. Reading that as "BTS parser fix, which closes bug#9999",

See section 10.4 of the Developer's Reference:

#  Technically speaking, the following Perl regular expression is what is
#  used:
#      /closes:\s*(bug)?\#\d+(,\s*(bug)?\#\d+)*/gi
