May I suggest that you have a look at #565513 which discussed the same
kind of use case.
OSLC-CM is a proposed standard (now managed at OASIS) that would help
make debbugs interoperable with any supporting client.
Of course, OSLC-CM ranges from GET to modifying primitives for modifying
bugs... so #565513 may be a bit larger spectrum than #712979.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
