In revision #2649 of this branch, the comment references "Bug#27430".
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mysql-developers/mysql/mysql-5.1

The bug reference is linkified pointing to https://code.launchpad.net/bugs/27430
However, it should really be referencing http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=27430

Support for MySQL's bugtracker is dependent on bug #74449. After that is done, it would be possible to have the text-to-html converter linkify "bug #NNN" to point to the project's bugtracker. Since MySQL's bugtracker already uses the "bug #NNN" syntax, it is not desirable to introduce a new syntax for externally referenced bugs.

A much less desirable alternative would be to turn off linkifying the "bug #NNN" text, which would avoid confusion, but it wouldn't provide added convenience.
