It would be nice if there would be a command-line tool to attach files to bugzilla. Ideally it should allow to use a SSH/PGP keys or SSL certificates for authentication for use from scripts and to avoid exposing unencrypted passwords. This would allow for better integration with mercurial.
Right now I can use curl to do the attchments since the tool allows to send post data. But that requires either to add a bugzilla username/password to a script or to extract the current authentication cookies from a browser session.  
I will try to create a perl script using curl that can attach a file of a particular mimetype to a bugzilla bug using the login cookies. It should be straightforward to emulate the form submitting.

You can use the Bug.add_attachment method from our WebServices since Bugzilla 4.0. No need for a special tool here.
