It would be nice if bug links weren't displayed just like this:

Bugs: #1 

but instead e.g. like this:

Bugs: rhbz#2383924

At least for certain most prominent bug trackers, like RH bugzilla. But ideally all supported TLDs.

The problem with current solution is that it's not apparent whether different people link to the same or different bug. It always shows up as #1, even though it often links to a completely different URL. This makes it hard for people to scan with their eyes whether a particular bug was already reported, or whether a particular bug is frequently hit.

An alternative solution would still to use #1, #2, #3, etc, but globally for the whole event, not per person. That way it would be obvious if the same bug is linked multiple times by multiple people.

I think I prefer the first solution, but both would be OK.
