Launchpad should treat SourceForge and GForge URLs differently when creating bug watches

Bug Description

When I try to add a link to the upstream tracker for Oregano, the system generates an invalid link to the upstream page.
I used this link:
http://gforge.lug.fi.uba.ar/tracker/index.php?aid=1307
This itself works fine, however Launchpad translates this to
http://gforge.lug.fi.uba.ar/support/tracker.php?aid=1307
which does not work. Additionally, it cannot connect to Oregano bugs and retrieve information from there.

This is because Launchpad is treating GForge URLs in the same way as it treats SourceForge URLs. The problem is that they're very similar - Launchpad identifies them using the same regular expression.
