It refers to a ticket in a (private0 tracking system used by release
engineering to track "pullup requests" of changes from the cvs "HEAD"
(aka "netbsd-current") to the release branch (in this case, "netbsd-1-6").

  | Grant Beattie <grant@netbsd.org> - htdocs, advocacy, pkgsrc

Yes.

When there's a "requested by foo in ticket #NNNN" comment, the `foo'
usually refers to a NetBSD developer with the email address foo@netbsd.org.
