For all of this, it would be even better if you could replace them as
follows:

build#(\d+)
 -> [build #\1](http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=\1)

bug#(\d+)
 -> [bug #\1](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=\1)

etc...

Would make for cleaner pages.

That would indeed be preferable. :(
