As far as I know, Bugzilla has a link at the bottom of every bug  
description which gives us an option to convert that bug desc page  
into a XML. So, going through every bug in the Bugzilla repository and  
then convert them into XML should do the job, but its too laborious.  
Thats why I wanted to ask for your suggestion whether some other way  
exists to retrieve the bugs as XML.

Thanks for your reply.
