Details

It would be great if Bugzilla offered a service that would let you enter a bug
number and it would generate a buglink with the summary (and possibly other
information) in the title attribute. 

I type in "95489" and it spits out <a
href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95489" title="Trunk, N610
&amp; M094 crash [@ nsScriptLoader::EvaluateScript]">95489</a>.
hmm, you mean like the escaped text so you could copy and paste it to put it in
a web page?
Summary: [rfe] linkify utility → [rfe] linkify utility
I'd like to take a look at implementing this one.
Should it be done as a separate cgi script or activated via a special flag to
show_bug.cgi?
You kinda already get that when you write "bug XXXXXX" in a comment, except you
get the status and resolution too.  Perhaps that could be used on the dependency
tree page, etc.
I think bug#93220 is for making the display of bugs more consistent.

My understanding of this bug is such that you wouldn't really want Status or
Resolution in a generated buglink, that you were going to copy somewhere,
because they could soon get out of date. (As would the summary, tough)
This is more of a separate utility than a component of bug viewing, so I suggest
implementing it as a separate CGI script.  Use Bugzilla facilities where
available, enhancing them if necessary (f.e. the GetBugLink function in globals.pl).

Bugzilla is in the process of being templatized, so implement the interface for
the script using templates.  See attachment.cgi for an example of how to do
this, and post questions about how to do templates to
netscape.public.mozilla.webtools (ccing myk@mozilla.org) or to bug 86168.
Dupe of bug#108987 ?
making this a dupe of 108987, which is essentially the same thing, plus a little
more, and although that bug is newer, it has patches already.
