Just a warning to everyone reading this: Having public access does not
mean it is ok to write software to bog down Bugzilla with loads of
requests. I ban such people at least once a week (on IP address). If I
find out such a persons Bugzilla account, it will be banned as well. My
warning is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/robots.txt. GNOME does not have
infinite computer resources and I'd rather have Bugzilla usable for the
real audience.. developers+users+triagers.

To Juha: From what you say below I think you have only used a
webbrowser. That is of course ok (and things like those IRC bots that
only look up a few bug numbers per day).
