Automatically changing bpo-DDDD to a link to bugs.python.org was introduced in #121 . It's a useful feature but there are a few cases where the PR was raised with wrong title format and while specifying the correct format and the bot rewrites bpo number in the text as a link causing confusion. It does rewriting without notification and thus the comments are silently overwritten unless OP re-reads it.

Example : While commenting the correct format in python/cpython#9906 (comment) bedevere changed bpo-34996: Add name parameter to proccess and thread pool to [bpo-34996](https://bugs.python.org/issue34996): Add name parameter to proccess and thread pool . The user was confused and changed the PR title with URL. Using backticks also doesn't stop the bot. Is there a way to specify bpo-DDDD without adding hyperlinks in the comments? Maybe this can be skipped in the backticks?

Another example where spaces have to be used to stop rewriting : python/cpython#9755 (comment)

Thanks
