ABRT should file the bugs upstream in the first place, an automated tool 
should do the right thing in the first place. Of course that means having to 
deal with several different bug trackers, not just Bugzilla. But it's part 
of doing it right.

No.
1. I need to identify the bugs which are missing information in the first 
place, which is more than just "everything in the list produced by my saved 
search since the last mass needinfo" (which is what I'm using now).
2. I need to actually file the bug upstream, which is a manual process for 
every single bug. We have no tools to automate that (and Bugzilla-only tools 
aren't going to help because Gnash uses Savannah's bug tracker).
