Source of bugs.debian.org web interface?

[Christian Hammers <ch@debian.org>]

Hello

I don't like the current bugs.debian.org web interface and would
like to write an alternative bug viewer.

(Not a replacement for the lynx-compatible official one just something that
some people might prefer. With colors, tables and javascript, you know...)

Is there a way to get the results of a bug query as machine readable
input? I.e. has the current pkgreport.cgi a hidden switch to generate
RSS or XML output or are the bugs stored somewhere as files or in LDAP
so that I can access them myself from e.g. people.debian.org?
I do not seem to have ssh access to bugs.debian.org.

thanks,
