Weird... you mean you don't like getting a dozen notifications about
your bug being put into NEEDINFO state? :-)

That seems....larger that expected :-)

Ah, okay, now I see -- it appears that there are a million (*waves
hands dramatically*) .po files in that repository, and every one of
them has a link to FDO. Updating those should be possible with a
search-and-replace.

For example, I wonder if we could set up a temporary redirect soon so
that we could have the urls in, say, the Translations repository point
to bugs.libreoffice.org, and just redirect them over to FDO. This
would allow us to gradually migrate our urls to the new home while
keeping all of our services up and running.
