It would be nice if the "See Also" feature could be used to track issues reported for sourceforge projects, particularly as their tracker URLs are so massively ugly that having them in comments is rather distracting.
See Also is only for OTHER bugzilla installations, as so kindly pointed out here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#see_also SF is not a bugzilla installation. I'll leave this bug open but assume that the bugzilla admins will close as resolved, invalid/upstream. Thanks for understanding there is nothing we can do about it.
(In reply to comment #1) > See Also is only for OTHER bugzilla installations, as so kindly pointed out > here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#see_also SF is not a > bugzilla installation. That document only talks about "other installations", without explicitely mentioning "Bugzilla". So I assumed "other bug tracking installations" of any kind. When entering a rejected URL, I get the following message: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3410214&group_id=1537&atid=301537 is not a valid URL to a bug. See Also URLs should point to one of: * show_bug.cgi in a Gentoo's Bugzilla installation. * A bug on launchpad.net * An issue on code.google.com. * A bug on bugs.debian.org. The first item is probably written incorrectly, and should omit the "Gentoo's", thus referring to arbitrary bugzilla setups. Of the remaining three, none is actually running bugzilla. So there is room for exceptions, and adding yet another exception for SF might make sense.
That's part of Bugzilla >=4.2.
