I've found out that you are running Apache, so

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(\d+)$ /show_bug.cgi?id=$1 [L]

I'm not entirely sure why you'd want that, but that should probably be a
feature request against Bugzilla.

What's wrong with http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29193 ?

We trying not to modify bugzilla or create any too Wine specific installation
requirements. This is so bugzilla can be easily synched with upstream.

You are welcome to open this bug with bugzilla itself.

Shorter URLs are convenient because they're easy to type, and
make it easier to write little scripts that refer to bugs.

It would be easy to make a little redirect in apache to make this work.
The Chromium project does this;
  crbug.com/10000
redirects to
  http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10000

I think it's a good idea.

Any time you enable rewrite engine on a site it turns into a potential source
of issues. See latest bug with Apache and rewrite engine that can potentially
expose protected files.

So don't use mod_rewrite.  You could do it with
        ScriptAliasMatch ^/bug[1-9][0-9]* /usr/lib/cgi-bin/foo.sh
and a cgi-bin script like

#!/bin/sh
bad_input() {
    echo "Status: 404 Not found"
    echo ""
    echo "The requested URL could not be found."
    exit 0
}
redirect_to() {
    echo "Status: 301 Moved"
    echo "Location: $1"
    echo "Content-type: text/plain"
    echo ""
    echo "Redirecting you to $1 now."
    exit 0
}
case "$REQUEST_URI" in
/bug*) bugnum="${REQUEST_URI#/bug}";;
*) bad_input ;;
esac
case "$bugnum" in
[1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])
redirect_to "http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=$bugnum" ;;
*) bad_input ;;
esac

That's even worse - spanning shell process and using shell globs in place of
more strict regex...

Right, then, how about a little apache module?  It's wafer-thin :-)

static int bugredir_handler(request_rec* r)
{
    int bug;
    if (!r->handler || strcmp(r->handler, "bugredir"))
        return DECLINED;

if (r->method_number != M_GET)
        return HTTP_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED;

if (strncmp(r->uri, "/bugs/", 6))
        return DECLINED;
    bug = atoi(&r->uri[6]);
    if (bug > 0 && bug < (1<<20)) {
        char newuri[256];
        sprintf(newuri, "/show_bug.cgi?id=%d", bug);
        ap_internal_redirect(newuri, r);
    }
    return DECLINED;
}
