I assume that you mean you don’t know what to change bugzilla.gnome.org 
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/> references to when they refer to a bug that we 
didn’t import to bugs.gnucash.org <http://bugs.gnucash.org/>. I suppose that 
there are two alternatives: We can import those bugs too or just leave the 
links as-is. I don’t think that we want to import them. (The third alternative, 
find their gitlab instances, will likely apply only to a very few of them: Only 
open bugs being actively worked on or identified as still a serious problem 
were migrated.)

It’s worth noting that Gnome missed their date for shutting down new bugs, too. 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?classification=__all 
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?classification=__all> still lists 
*lots* of projects.
