Its not necessary to connect to a bugzilla for a first pass at least or
even normalize bugs outside of bnc, simply something like:

--populate-changelog --bug 290030  "pidgin requires NetworkManager"

would work - the key is that QA and others often have a difficult time
extracting what exactly went into each build.  If the bug id's were
normalized some how, they would be easy to parse by perl or simple
scripts.
