Description Nobody - feel free to take it

It would be very handy if, when a description or comment referred to a ticket using phrasing like "ticket #123456", that this text be automatically made a link to the ticket mentioned (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=123456).

This already works for bugs, as can be seen in ticket #550119 comment #1, but only when using the misleading form "bug #123456", and not for tickets, as ticket #550119's comment #2 shows: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=550119

We won't be investing any resources into improving Bugzilla, as we encourage projects to use GitHub and Eclipse GitLab (https://gitlab.eclipse.org).

Please see: Shutdown this bugzilla instance.
