Thanks!
Note for BTS readers: when this bug was filed (2005) the '--buglist'
option didn't do the good stuff offered above. In 2009, C. Chenet
wrote a nice patch:
/usr/bin/querybts: Could provide option to list all bugs without user
interaction

About this 'specific/general' input tradeoff... was there a reason for
not using ordinary standard input? Some prompts are simple stuff like:
Is the bug you found listed above [y|N|b|m|r|q|s|f|?]?
...where the input is a letter or number followed by <Enter>. Nothing a
Bourne shell 'read' command couldn't handle.
Python people say it does stdio:
How do I read from standard input using a Python script?
Just read from sys.__stdin__ (aka sys.stdin).. for example,
sys.stdin.read()
sys.stdin is a file object, and can be operated on as such.
