It would be very useful to be able to input a query using the CLI client, and have it pop out a standard query.cgi URL that I could copy to other people (either as-is, or after running through a URL shortener).
I think this should be possible with something like urllib.urlencode(), right?

It would be doable, but there's one hitch: the URL query field names don't always match the XMLRPC field names. For example, to query all Fedora bugs in the NEW state, XMLRPC wants something like
{"product": "Fedora", "status": "NEW"}
But the URL needs to be like
query.cfg?product=Fedora,bug_status="NEW"
Notice status vs. bug_status. And I just verified that using 'status' doesn't work in the URL. So you'd need to play with the web search UI to tease out all those differences at least.
That aside, I think it's a useful idea.
