Or just create an extension which shows the status of a given bug
(connecting to kaulen with read-only credentials).
No dummy bot edits and no need of extra connections. And fits well in
our know-how.
Although perhaps those edits are a *feature*? (so that the change shows
in the watchlist).
In that case, better start reseaching bugzilla hooks and how to call
from the hook the mediawiki perl framework.
