I wouldn't hardcode the name (or specifics) of a BTS in the glib API.
Instead use something like:

  void  g_test_uri (const gchar *uri_template);
  void  g_test_bug (guint        bugid);

where the former function is used like this:

  g_test_uri("http://bugs.example.com/bugs/%s";);

Also it is better not to restrict bug "numbers" to integers. Other BTS
could possibly use other systems to identify bugs. Also, I don't see
the need to use arithmetic operations on bug numbers, so using a string
should be ok.
