Yes!  And it looked painful :)  But it was good to know that
additional fields could be specified along those lines.

For getting a flag, playing around a bit more revealed that a bug's
flag info is returned buried in the data returned via getBug().

I'm actually trying to update my post-to-review script to deal with
the owners.list/branch requests by adding a comment in the format
requested and setting the flag.  I know Warren has said that these two
things should be done "preferably" at the same time (so the "flag
set!" message carries the comment as well, I take it), so I'm trying
to do both actions as the same time.  (Though it would be easy to do a
addComment() then an updateFlags().)

Do you know if there's a more generic bug update function that would
allow me to do both actions in the same update?

Thanks :)
