Details

Right now when I type "bug 123132" mozbot gets me some information about the bug.

It would be nice if he could do the same thing for attachments, primarily to
help out with the clarity of BugzillaMailHandler messages coming in about
attachments. (That is, it says "canceled blah on attachment 1 [details] [diff] [review], requested review
on attachment 2 [details] [diff] [review]" but we don't know what attachment 1 [details] [diff] [review] and 2 are.)
As far as I can tell, this would either: 

1) Only work when a Bug Number was specified - so would be fine for "user @
example.com added attachment X to bug Y" and "user @ example.com requested X
from Y for attachment Z on bug A" messages, but not for a user saying
"attachment 212 [details] [diff] [review]" in general chat.

or 

2) Require a change to Bugzilla to provide an XML feed of attachment information
which would work around these problems.

as the only way I can currently see to get attachment information in an XML
format is by using the output of "show_bug.cgi?ctype=xml", which of course
requires a bug number.
Yeah, it would require a modification of Bugzilla itself, I was thinking.

Cleaning up mozbot's buglist. I'm assuming you're not longer interested in fixing this (if its even possible). Feel free to take it back if i'm wrong. :-)

bugbot is fully capable of doing this now, BTW.

Mozbot/Firebot is in maintenance-only mode; no further changes are planned.
