 Part of the gitlab migration will require a change to the IRC bot telling
 us about issue titles (and statuses).

 Right now, when we say "#N" (e.g. #1234) in a tor channel, it fetches the
 bug #N title/status from Trac and displays it in the IRC channel, like so:

 {{{
 14:12:53 <+anarcat> #23933
 14:12:54 -zwiebelbot:#tor-project- tor#23933: Add a configuration
 framework - [closed] - https://bugs.torproject.org/23933
 }}}

 We would need to do something similar so that the bot could also talk to
 Trac.

 Since GitLab issues are project-specific (ie. you can have two different
 issue `1` in two different projects), we would need a prefix to make this
 work. So it would look something like:

 {{{
 <anarcat> tpo/web/community#105
 <zwiebelbot> Update link to Support portal (#105) -
 https://gitlab.torproject.org/torproject/web/community/-/issues/105
 }}}

 ie. it should match a `PATH#NUMBER` pattern which gets turned into
 `https://gitlab.torproject.org/PATH/-/issues/NUMBER`.

 Eventually, we would also retire the `#N` redirection we currently have
 pointed at Trac and have those pointing at the legacy project in GitLab
 instead. but that can be done later.
