Frédéric Buclin created a program called "bugzilla-createuser" that
is used on sourceware when a new account is created that needs
bugzilla access.  We could add a "create-bugzilla-account" command
to the limited shell that source-control-only users get so that
anyone with access to gcc's svn could create a bugzilla account.

So, you'd do something like:

ssh gcc.gnu.org create-bugzilla-user user password
