I can, and do, search Bugzilla for that. It is a massive PITA having to 
do it but a script would make it easier, however...

Spot on.

It may seem counter-productive but I agree that you shouldn't be forced 
to create an AppDB account, despite it not hurting in the slightest. The 
problem though is that most people do have both accounts, they're just 
too damned lazy to attach the bug link.

As a general rule the AppDB admins and the Bugzilla triage team are the 
same people, and it's these poor buggers that have to clean up all the 
mess where people could be doing it themselves.

Many a hand makes light work...
Do your part...
Dig for victory...
etc.
