While many people specify "Bug <number>", there are quite a few (including Red Hat employees) which specify an alternative format that is not recognized as an embedded Bug Number. See "Expected Results" for examples. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Browse the bugs in Red Hat's Bugzilla. 2. Browse the bugs in Mozilla's Bugzilla. Actual Results: Red Hat's Bugzilla only recognizes "Bug <number>" format. Expected Results: Red Hat's Bugzilla should recognize quite a few formats (through simple regex additions): Bug <number> Bug #<number> Bug<number> Bug#<number> Bugs <number>, <number> Bugs #<number>, #<number> Bug ID <number> Bug ID #<number> et. al.

The new bugzilla system also does hyperlinking to the same extent so I will need to pass this change upstream to the core developers.
Well, the "new" 2.17.1 release (from 2.8 ... very interesting) seems to capture more auto-linking than the previous Bugzilla. But I don't understand why "Bug ID <number>" is captured but "Bug ID #<number>" is not. Since I have not delved into the source code of Bugzilla - can't you add templates for the auto-linking? Bug match = Bug, Bug #, Bugs, Bugs #, Bug ID, Bug ID # Buglist match = #,+# (or something horked up like that). **shrug**

Red Hat's current Bugzilla version is 2.18. I am moving all older open bugs to this version. Any bugs against the older versions will need to be verified that they are still bugs. This will help me also to sort them better.
Still there (see comment #2 and comment #4).
I have updated the section of code responsible for linking to the latest from upstream BZ which should help a little. Any other linking misses should be filed in a bug report at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org.
