Thanks for the pointers. It does not sound too difficult. We need to
write an extension that uses code-hooks. Here is an example for
attachements:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/webtools/bugzilla/extensions/example/code/attachment-process_data.pl
and here is some more docs about the parameters:
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/Hook.html#attachment-process_data
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/Attachment.html#Instance_Properties

so we would need to extend the example to write the file to a tempdir,
run file command against it and append the output to the description.
Kind of like this:
$args->{attributes}->{description} .= `file $tmp_data`;

do we have a toy instance where I could try this?
