Bug Description

In buglist_filter.py it was possible to filter on bug list on multiple reporters:

        if reporter:
            self.reporters = reporter.split(',')
            self.functions.add(self.func_reporter)

However, in basebuglistfilter.py this is no longer possible and when you try to filter a bug list on multiple reporters you just get all the bugs.

Looking at it more perhaps it should be fixed in bughelper / bugnumbers and not python-launchpad-bugs. Just iterating through a web search for each reporter makes sense and would be faster than it was.

this is not easy to solve. bughelper and bugnumbers are using the url based search right now and not the 'reporter' function of basebuglistfilter.py. I did not remove this function because I wanted to remain API compatible in the past.
Unfortunately the advanced search in LP does not support logical operations like OR yet, so we cannot solve it this way.
Iterating over different urls does not fit into the current design of bughelper and bugnumbers, if we really want to do it this way, big changes in both tools are neccessary.
