See attachment. It has been posted in 2008, and attached is the update
from 2010.

It's several small scripts written in Python. The primary one can
read/write a bugzilla server's "components" list via its web interface.
Accompanying scripts parse the owners.list files as retrieved from viewcvs.
Obviously, for writing to bugzilla, an account with "editcomponents"
privileges is needed.

Development could go into the following features (probably an incomplete list):
 * syntax and plausibility check of owners.list data
 * report problems to the people who break the owners.list files
 * interface with RPM Fusion's FAS (Fedora Account System) for
   whatever data they make available somewhere in JSON, CSV format or
   however, and possibly readable only after authenticating with FAS
 * investigate whether FAS can hold bugzilla account email addr info
 * pkgdb used or to be used in the future? obsolete owners.list files?
 * write bugzilla databases directly?
