Comment 0 for bug 617699

The Launchpad API should provide routines to make it easy to access information about a bug watch.

Some rough brainstorming (subject to change extensively):

  * getProductsForBugtracker - List of products supported by a given bugtracker
  * getComponentsForProduct - List of components for a given product in a remote bugtracker
  * getRemoteProduct(remote_bug) - Given a remote bug id that exists in launchpad, identify its product
  * getComponentForSourcePackage - Identify the remote bug tracker component that corresponds to a source package

  * setComponentForSourcePackage - allows programmatic linking of component and source package
  * setSourcePackageForComponent - allows programmatic linking of component and source package

Perhaps others...
