For the record, for this particular problem we use the "pull" 
keyword. Posting a fixing pull URL as a comment by itself is also 
prevalently common, perhaps it would be easier to standardize 
that instead.

Well, ideally, it would be better to use an API instead of 
parsing HTML.

The current Bugzilla does not expose an API (I understand it's 
planned for the next major Bugzilla version). The blessed way to 
programmatically query a Bugzilla instance seems to be to use 
BzAPI, which works like a proxy - exposing an API while talking 
to a slighty-patched Bugzilla instance:

However, I don't think we'll be able to convince Brad to patch 
D's Bugzilla installation to support BzAPI, since he declined 
previous similar requests.
