The patch in comment 7 is to be sent upstream.
If they do accept it, the only change required to WineHQ bugzilla is to remove
the 'disable' file from the MoreBugURL extension to enable it. This will allow
WineHQ forum thread links (and a few other trackers too but that's not a
problem) in the 'See Also' field.

The patch in comment 6 is for that. It makes a to-be-added custom field 
cf_forum_thread a URL field just like the Staged Patchset field.

I think the best approach would be to try to send the patch for the MoreBugURL
extension first, and if it's not accepted upstream, then go the custom field
way.
