There definitely used to be some script doing this, but I am not sure what it is.

We will need to figure out what it is and what happened to it.

There's a user "fedora-admin-xmlrpc" which used to be used to make those changes. For example, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1467641#c6

At least that would give a string to search for.

Edit: It's present in ansible in two places. One is a comment in roles/fas_server/tasks/main.yml and the other is in roles/fas_server/templates/export-bugzilla.cfg.j2. But that just points to the export_bugzilla script, which I'm pretty sure has never been responsible for this. My guess is that it was part of pkgdb somehow.

Edit2: Confirmed, this was functionality internal to pkgdb2 which ran when the owner was changed. So there's no easy script to resurrect, though you can lift the set_bugzilla_owner function: https://github.com/fedora-infra/pkgdb2/blob/master/pkgdb2/lib/utils.py#L145

This is the current script that is used to sync bugzilla info afaik:
https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ansible.git/tree/roles/distgit/pagure/templates/pagure-sync-bugzilla.py.j2

ok, so we need to expand the script to handle this then. Any takers?

Additionall, it would be nice if we could close retired packages to new bugs.

Let's track this elsewhere, I could see this done in the releng script that is blocking the retired packages from koji.

Or we do it in distgit-bugzilla-sync and then everytime it runs, it'll check
