Hi Nick,

to report bugs on gentoo, open an account on http://bugs.gentoo.org.

Once that is done, we have a package called pybugz which is a python
script that is a command line interface to bugzilla.

It is not in the stable tree as of yet, so to get it, you have to do the
following:

echo www-client/pybugz >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge pybugz

There is not a man page for it as of yet, so once it is installed, you
can use the --help option to find out the correct usage.

The command it gives you is bugz (spelled with z not s), so you can
type:

bugz --help

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
