Is there really a point to these bug link reviews? They seem like an annoyance more than an useful anti-spam strategy.
Bug links are not susceptible to spam, but people do sometimes mistype bug numbers and there's always some joker who wants to link bug 1 to something, so yes, they do need to be reviewed. However, since the links appear right away, I would recommend changing the message to something like "The link has been tentatively added to the database and queued for review by the maintainer or an administrator."
