Yes, the ones it can cope with: Bugzilla, Debbugs, Roundup, Sourceforge and bugzilla. mozilla. com.br/ show_bug. cgi?id= 613
Trac.
If you enter an URL like:
http://
You'll see a message like:
"The bug tracker at http:// bugzilla. mozilla. com.br/ isn't registered in
Launchpad. You need to __register it__ before you can link any bugs to it."
where "register it" is a link to +newbugtracker.

Perhaps the message should say something like:
"Launchpad doesn't yet support the kind of bug tracker this URL is pointing
at. Please __file a bug__ requesting support for this BT."
What do you think?
