moving from an RT ticket over to Bugzilla itself, after talking to Andre about it:

replace bz reporter db scraping with API queries, originally RT #2577

Mon Mar 05 23:33:33 2012 Antoine Musso - Ticket created

There is a reporting script, probably in perl, sending out a weekly report about bugzilla activity.

The script was written by Tomasz Finc back in 2008.

It runs on kaulen.

Output is sent on mondays at 3am UTC.

Would be great to have the script moved to puppet and the cron puppetized.

update by Daniel:

meanwhile it is indeed puppetized and part of the bugzilla puppet module,
it also doesn't run on kaulen anymore, but on zirconium, so that has been resolved.

but:

later on the ticket it has been said that the entire script should be replaced by something that asks the API. using the current puppet code you could just change the script name, and you'll still get the cronjobs etc from puppet.

so if anyone feels a need to replace the working script, then write a new one that outputs the same result but just asks the API
