Grabbing the CC list can easily be automated using Bugzilla's xmlrpc
API.  Here is an example in python:

    import xmlrpclib
    server = xmlrpclib.Server('https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi')
    server.bugzilla.getBug(BUG_NUMBER)['cc']

Now that I think about it, all you really need for a script like this is
the Bug #.  From there, you could just parse the comments for the SPEC
file url, then parse the spec for the package name and summary.
