Sending this issue to chromium to own. If they end up needing some gerrit feature development done to make it feasible to accomplish this (which I suspect they will), I'd like to see a new feature request filed to specifically address that change.

Moved issue gerrit:7231 to now be issue chromium:766227.

This is due to limitations in the Gerrit "commentlink" system.

It only accepts regexes which match whole lines, and the regex has to specify the replacement of the entire line. So we've chosen to hard-code 5 replacements: http://shortn/_1zmRGHOzLe

If the commentlink system accepted something along the lines of "look for lines which match foo, and then replace match group X with Y" (as opposed to "...and then replace the whole match with Y") then we could generalize to any number of bug links.
