This is because at the time of writing, there was no XMLRPC method
exposed for changing a user's email.  I just checked now, and there
might be a new method available that we can use.  I'll look at
adding this to our scripts soon.

This is currently implemented as follows: When a user changes their
email in FAS, or changes their membership in the fedorabugs group, a
trigger runs which adds the user to a special queue table.  We then run
a script periodically that empties out the queue and creates a BZ
account if one doesn't already exist, and grants privileges to the
accounts.  The relevant code for this is in the FAS repo:
git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fas.git
in scripts/export-bugzilla.* and fas2.sql.

Thanks,
Ricky
