Bug tracker short urls

I've found myself filing and watching tickets on browser bug trackers a lot more lately.

Turns out, they have some handy shorturls which make for easy linking to tickets.

wkb.ug/19264 for webkit (or webk.it/19264 or webkit.org/b/19264 )
bugzil.la/475606 for firefox/mozilla
crbug.com/11359 for google chrome (new ticket: new.crbug.com)
mcrbug.com/ for google chrome on android tickets (new ticket: new.mcrbug.com)
crosbug.com/59 for google's chrome os
crrev.com/41850 for chromium changesets
jqbug.com/7585 for jQuery bug tracker

In fact, the webk.it URLs are debuting today! I luckily convinced Wolfango Chiappella of Wolfango'Studio (who owns the domain) to set up a redirect. Grazie di cuore!

2010.07.22: Mihai of the google reader team added a nice new one for chromium changesets
Mozilla also uses bit.ly pro for all of their MDC docs and such, So if you go through bit.ly you get a nice mzl.la link.

2011.01.20: added jqbug. thx mathias.
2011.10.13: added webkit.org/b/xxxx
2012.02.22: Added wkb.ug and mcrbug. thx mathias. again. :)
2012.02.22: Thanks Alex. Rly.

    Cool! Are you aware of any such short urls for Launchpad?

    You may wanna add http://jqbug.com/ to the list :)

    There’s now wkb.ug too, e.g. http://wkb.ug/12345.

    To mimic crrev/crbug, I also registered http://wkbug.com/12345 (and /new) and http://wkrev.com/12345 a few weeks ago. Mostly for my own convenience, as consistency is hard to find with five ways(!) to access WebKit bugs by their Id.

    Also, pad.lv as short URL for all Ubuntu bugs, which obviously includes those in browsers :-)

For code blocks, use <pre lang="javascript">. css and html4strict are also accepted.
