Yeah, it shouldn't be to difficult either. We could just add a couple of repo-options to cgitrc, maybe something like this:

  repo.bugtracker-regex=(#[0-9]+)
  repo.bugtracker-url=http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=%1

and then use regexec() combined with the interpolate() function in git to perform the substitution. There could also be similar global options, i.e.:

  bugtracker-regex=(#[0-9]+)
  bugtracker-url=http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=%1

which would be used if the per-repo options weren't specified.

I'll put it on my todo-list (and patches are always appreciated).
