I'm ignoring your request to ignore this :)

I have been monitoring the progress of #24 purely because it peeked my 
interest and because I'm nosey :P

I have been wondering this.....

Since the best solution so far seems to be to scrape HTML pages to get 
what we are looking for (maybe) and since this is less than ideal (at 
least IMHO) I was wondering if we could get the Red Hat Bugzilla 
engineers involved (maybe Mike or  Dennis could pull some strings from 
their end) and get them to query Bugzilla's underlying database directly 
and send us the output of the query? It is certainly far more 
straightforward to craft an SQL query to do what we need than it is to 
scrape pages, more efficient too.

These are just some thoughts, maybe I am missing something and there is 
some bureaucratic reason why this can't happen.

Jose, this is in no way intended to criticise or belittle the work that 
you have already done. It's just me thinking aloud.

Cheers,
Brad
