hi again, just 2 quick points… 

1/ the traceback error in git-bz is a common http timeout error. the current workaround is to just be a bit quicker!

2/ if you look closely thru that xml/html output, you can spot the actual error message from bugzilla

...this type of git-bz error is often caused by someone attempting to move a bug's status from say… NEW to PASSED-QA
(you can only change a bug's status to PASSED-QA, if the bug's status has been set to SIGNED-OFF previously)
