True.

Perhaps it would be nice to talk to the debbugs maintainers and work out
a way in which the BTS can inform wanna-build of a bug number without
buildd admin intervention? Maybe this could work through something like
X-Debbugs-Cc where the bts would pass on version, architecture, and
package version in a machine-readable format. A mail processor on the
wanna-build end could then parse that and add it to the right place in
the database. Of course, that would prerequire that the bts track
architectures, which it currently doesn't...
It would certainly make sense to make this an automated process; there's
really no need for the buildd maintainer to have to do this manually.
