Another method is that you can use usertags to set a tag that
corresponds to a wannabuild db index (with a specific user) and then
query the bts for that at some later point in time.

You can handle architectures in a similiar fashion if you want.

For example:

Source: foo
Severity: serious
User: wannabuild@buildd.debian.org
UserTags: wannabuildid-12345, wannabuildarch-i386

then after a suitable wait (or perhaps in a cron job which looked for
filed bugs which didn't have a bug # associated):

bts select users:wanabuild@buildd.debian.org tag:wannabuildid-12345

would return the bug using the soap interface. [There is a planned
feature called uservalues which would make this slightly more elegant,
but i haven't completed it yet.]
