[debian-mysql] bts-link - programmatical way to query bugs.mysql.com

[Sandro Tosi]

Hello!
In the goal to expand bts-link [1] to a wider set of packages, we'd
like to support MySQL too.

[1] http://bts-link.alioth.debian.org/

MySQL issue tracker [2] is based on Php issue tracker [3], and with
the latter we are able to export bug information in XML format (for
example [4]) that's a really nice format to be parsed by a program
(instead of doing web scraping).

[2] http://bugs.mysql.com/
[3] http://bugs.php.net/
[4] http://bugs.php.net/rss/bug.php?format=xml&id=2415

We'd like to ask you if you know of a similar "easy to query" output
format, alternatively if you can forward this request to MySQL
upstream authors, so we can find a solution.

Thanks in advance for your collaboration,
