If the repositories are completely unrelated (one not being the clone of the other), you will have no technical way to link them[*]
For semantic value, you could tag each commit with the same tag name in both repositories. And a tag name being clear enough on what the issue was while at the same time not being too long... which is often difficult (naming is always a difficult problem).
You have also the git notes
feature, but this is kind of arcane, and not all tools, besides core git, know how to handle them (where tags are known everywhere). If using the notes
feature you could put in each repository a note on the relevant commit ID being, as pure text, the commit ID or URL of the other commit.
Other than that, you can always have a README
or CHANGES
file in each repository listing things like that. It is however of course completely manual and non formatted.
[*] or if you want to be super-geeky you create a metarepository where you import both repositories in it (a git repository can have more than one root commit in fact, not always known, rarely useful, always complicated, but still possible); or you use submodules
