Cool. 

It would be nice to improve the script to read "References:" or
"Addresses:" lines from the git commit messages and use the lines as
comments for Patch%d: in the SPEC file. Something like:

# https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850355
Patch123: 0001-foo-bar.patch

Maybe it would be also possible to use the URL to ask bugzilla for 
bug Id and Subject and then generate SPEC %changelog :-)
