Depends on how much effort we're willing to spend.

You can query the db for all variations of bug #<number>, bug <number> and 
bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi.

The first two formats when referring to gnucash bugs can be left as they are. 
The third format when referring to gnucash bugs can be rewritten to
bug #<number>

If the bugs don't refer to a gnucash bug you could try to find a 
gitlab.ngome.org url in the last few comments on the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org 
and substitute that in our comments. If no gitlab.gnome.org url is found in 
the bug, just replace it with the bugzilla.gnome.org url. There's not 
alternative in that case (this last option is needed for the first two 
formats, as our bug db doesn't have these bugs).
