Oh, that's perhaps nicer than what I had here (I like the
debbugs-gnu-current-id function):

(defun buffer-string-match (regexp)
  "Return the string matching the first group, else nil"
  (let ((text (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max))))
    (and (string-match regexp text)
         (match-string 1 text))))

(defun guix-get-debbugs-bug-number ()
  (interactive)
  (or (buffer-string-match "\\([[:digit:]]+\\)@debbugs.gnu.org")
      (buffer-string-match "bug#\\([[:digit:]]+\\)")))

(defun guix-get-mumi-link (bug-number)
  (interactive (list (guix-get-debbugs-bug-number)))
  "Parse the current buffer for a Debbugs issues number and
return a link for it in the MUMI Guix tracker."
  (let ((url (concat "https://issues.guix.gnu.org/"; bug-number)))
    (kill-new url)
    (message "%s" url)))
