REST+JSON is probably better for the mklog.py script, but in case this
is useful to anybody else, I get bugzilla info by fetching the XML for
a bug using the URL
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?ctype=xml&id=NNNN and
applying this stylesheet:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="text"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="/bugzilla/bug/short_desc"/>
      <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="/bugzilla/bug/bug_status"/>
      <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="/bugzilla/bug/resolution"/>
      <xsl:text>
    </xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>
