Hmm, not really.  There are some hopefully useful comments in the
script itself, but they could definitely be improved...

The script is here, BTW:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/status-report-scripts/?root=fedora

I run the script thusly:
./parseBZbugList -bu <my_bugzilla_username> -p <my_BZ_password> \
  -comps <path_to_directory_containing_comps.xml.in_files> \
  -o <path_to_owners.list_file> \
  -cvs <path_to_my_full_CVS_checkout_of_fedora_rpms> \
  >out

At the moment, I experience some trouble with bugzilla, which will time
out pretty often while retrieving the list of CLOSED package review
tickets (both through XMLRPC and through the web query page), so I'm
still experimenting to get a stable way to run the script...

That's an idea.  I had something up at the UsefulScripts page at some
point...  Long time since I last checked there.

I'd tend to agree, but since the packages are also listed in
owners.list, I'm not sure.  I tend to think they should not be listed
in owners.list at all, only in owners.olpc.list, to indicate the fact
they will not be built for Fedora.
