[cfe-dev] Bugzilla migration is stopped again

[Mehdi AMINI via cfe-dev]

Hi,

Some thoughts that just crossed my mind: what if we instead rewrite every
link (not only backward reference) to http://llvm.org/PR<XXXX> ; since
these links will continue to work and redirect, that would make all
possible link working as expected wouldn't it?
