I suspect I could write a script using the Perl interface that would
search for any references like this, and possibly hand-modify the SQL
tables that need adjusting. If nothing else I can look for any comment
references to bugzilla.gnome.org or a bug# that's not in the database.
Actually, I can probably do that in the json! So there are 361 bugs that
have a reference to "show_bug.cgi". Only 287 of those reference
bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi.
Searching for "Bug # xxx" which wasn't imported is going to be harder.
I'm not sure what to change the bugzilla.gnome.org references to...
