But those were agreed apon, and standardized on, and look, documented,
as to how to use them.

If you want to propose, and document, using "Company-bug-id", that's
great, and is valid, but don't try to slip things in like this, with a
company specific name, into the standardized tag area and claim it is
acceptable after the fact.

Again, I think people here are somehow forgetting the 300+ different
companies that contribute to the kernel...
