That is not so easy to do since we have completely gotten rid of the old
method of communicating with bugzilla. That method was not reliable and
had broken several times with bugzilla upgrades, but using the web
services will be more stable.

Here is the documentation for their search command [1]. It would
probably be better for us to open a bug against bugzilla itself and
request those changes be put in the api.

What are your thoughts?
