I would recommend against attaching the pull in patch form against
bugzilla. It might lead to unintentionally misleading consequences.

If the patch is automatedly filed against bugzilla, people will assume
viewing that patch tells them all they need to know.

But the reality is somebody may rebase/amend/repush to the publicised
branch location before any developer reviews the patch in bugzilla,
and so by the time somebody reviews the patch, it is already wrong.

And as it is common for there to be a "get feedback, amend the pull,
get feedback, amend the pull" loop in existing real-world git
workflows, it should be assumed that is going to happen frequently.

It would also be better for there to be some way to specify a
repository remote and a ref-spec, not having github-intrinsic
behaviours. ( Because people may have personally hosted git repos they
want feedback on  if they have a github aversion, and we must not
*require* github to interact with the development workflow )
