It's already quite generic, but there are many different flavours of 
Bugzilla out there. Fortunately only few are that badly modified as the 
OpenOffice version which replaces most occurences of "bug" by "issue" 
making most of the parsing functions fail.

Note that currently this is limitied to read-only access. Only for the 
KDE Bugzilla there is some support for modifying bugs through the KDE 
specific mail interface. Providing generic write access is much harder 
than reading the data and will probably not be possible without 
modifications on the server side.
