"Mozilla bug 1234" is an interesting use-case, although in these (unfrequent) situations I would expect that such URL would be mentioned in "See Also". We cannot detect the "Mozilla bug 1234" case with a script. It is fair to say that most "bug 1234" references will point to Bugzilla reports. The benefits of T1234 over a link to the old Bugzilla URL are notable: * Users will see whether such task is open or closed. * They will be able to hover and check the details of the task. * In the destination task, a "This was mentioned at (link back)" action would be listed. > So in cases where someone had referred to a particular comment on a bug, you > expect everyone who wants to read the comment to count down from the top of > the page to find it? Well, yes. This is a complex migration that nobody else has done before, and it comes with a few compromises. In some cases the absence of this link to a comment will not be a big deal (either because the link doesn't matter anymore or because the destination task is fairly simple). In some cases it might be important and non-trivial to find that comment. If this is the case, then someone can quote the comment and point to the current destination, or you can edit your own comment for good. We have gone through this when we moved from fab to phab. A little annoyance for user me saving a big headache for the developers that would have need to work on this problem.
