Keep in mind that you can bulk-modify bugs; updating assignments,
department, components etc may change dozens of bugs at once quite
legitimately.

Reverting hundreds of bug property changes was labour intensive. It
points to the need for better tools to deal with malicious behaviour
in Bugzilla. I looked into the possibility of writing an automated
revert tool as a command-line perl script integrated with Bugzilla,
but it looked like it would be fairly complicated:
Might there be some relatively easy way to hack rate limiting into the
code?
In general, except for triage WONTFIX runs, I shouldn't think any given
user
would need to comment on or status-change a bug more than about every
minute
or two, possibly with an exponential backoff.
Cheers,
