It would be simple to implement URLs to the bug collector. Use a regular
expression that searches for [bB]ug[ ]+#([0-9]+) and create a summary at the
bottom (before the diff) with links to referenced bugs. The group from the
regexp contains the bug number, and the URL is then very easy to generate.
