I agree. debbugs database is an internal format and not interface to
other programs. Actually, I wanted a released interface to access bts
other than cgi because it's slow and can't be cached easily. But 
there was no fast interface to fetch bug reports. There is e-mail
interface, but it's little complex to manage database. I prefer LDAP
interface rather than e-mail interface. I'm sorry, but I'm not on
debbugs-ml. Is there any plan to implement LDAP interface? (There is
LDAP interface, but it searches debbugs dynmically and therefore slow
and no-indexing).
