Some time ago I have talked to Stefano Zacchiroli (python-debian), Bastian Ventur (reportbug-ng) and Sandro Tossi (reportbug) about the possibility of creating an "official" python bts access API to be integrated to the Debian Bundle/python-debian. Unfortunately this hasn't progressed since them, but I think it would be the way to go. I believe the first step would be to get an overall architecture design plan, and likely from there the best is to start a new codebase, taking the useful bits from python-btsutils and from python-debianbts. I'm still willing to help on this process as much as my free time allows, but I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to do so alone. Kind regards, Gustavo R.
