Debbugs has a SOAP interface. Via this, you can retrieve bug data in XML
format.

A while ago, I've started to write a package xesam-debbugs.el. It ask
interactively for a filter of the bugs, retrieves them via the SOAP
interface, and displays them in a buffer. Everything asynchronously,
Emacs is not blocked.

The package is unfinished. I lost interested when I found out, that the
SOAP interface of debbugs does not support sorting (which is
inconvenient for a larger number of bugs returned).

However, it might be worth to continue the work?
