I reinvented the scripts I was using.  First, a simple "fetch" script:

#!/bin/sh -v
wget -r -l 1 -L -nv -w 1 -e 'robots=off' -N `cat bugurls`

For me, "bugurls" contains these two:

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/ma/lMark_Eichin,eichin,kitten.gen.ma.us,.html
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/ma/l,eichin,kitten.gen.ma.us,Mark_W._Eichin.html

to figure out which one you need, go to the maintainer page and see
what it says. (--input-file doesn't work because of the commas,
apparently, but it does the right thing on the command line.)

If you put the fetch script in a cron job, I'd recommend *increasing*
the -w argument to put a longer delay between pages, to spread out the
load on the web server.  Better yet, don't do that; just run it when
you're actually working on them...
