Heh, I have been working on a similar concept, and I actually have a
working implementation. I am able to successfully search, log in, and
create new bugs. I just pushed this to my github.

https://github.com/floppym/BugzillaProxy

I have not taken the time to integrate it into pybugz. If you want to
take it from here, that would be great. Or I'm happy to help too; I'm
just not quite sure how to integrate it.

Side note: I have noticed that the xml-rpc interface does not allow
you to search on all available Bugzilla fields. The most obvious
missing field is the CC list.
