Description:
Hello

I forward this question in behalf of Sandro Tosi <morph@debian.org> who tries
to automatically update bug reports in the Debian Bug Tracking system according
to changes that are made to the upstream bug reports.

For this a simple to parse XML output of a specific bug report would be very helpful. I'm already aware of the possibility to track a search result as XML feed but was not able to get a parsable XML for just a single bug report.

Suggested fix:
Adopt the /rss/bug.php?format=xml&id=1234 script from the PHP bug tracking software

Thank you for the improvement suggested.

Hello,
could you please tell me if there is any news about this feature request?

I'd be very happy if we can keep MySQL and Debian issue tracking systems in sync, using the proposed XML export format.

Thanks in advance,
Sandro
