Can anyone more familiar with Apache RedirectMatch give me the correct magic to redirect:
http://moodle.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=xxxx
and bugid embedded in other parameters:
http://moodle.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=xxxx&blah=blah
to
http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-xxxx
Sorry, but I don't think RedirectMatch is enough for that complex statement. If you could use mod_rewrite, then the rule woud look like this:
http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-1234?op=show&bugid=1234&blah=blah
Of course, you can ignore the part after the "?", but I'm sure that someone else can improve my solution.
Cheers,

RewriteEngine onI just tested it and worked like a charm, EXCEPT that the final URL looks like this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^op=show&bugid=([0-9]+)&?(.*)$
RewriteRule ^bugs/bug.php$ http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-%1 [R,L]
http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-1234?op=show&bugid=1234&blah=blah
Of course, you can ignore the part after the "?", but I'm sure that someone else can improve my solution.

Isn't it
RewriteRule ^bugs/bug.php$ http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-$1 [R,L]with a $ (dollar) sign instead of a % (per-cent) ?
Nope, the percent sign takes the argument from the "QUERY_STRING" and the dollar from the same RewriteRule line. 
Thanks Pablo !
Thanks, Pablo! 
When we turn the old bugs system off I'll implement that.
