Accessors

The following fields are available via accessor functions (all fields are string values unless otherwise noted):

"Urgency_LC"
"ExtraFields"
Extra_Fields (all fields except for urgency as hash; POD spelling forces the underscore)

Changes (the actual content of the bug report, in verbatim form)
Trailer (the whole trailer in verbatim form)
Closes (Array of bug numbers)
"MaintainerEmail"
Timestamp (Date expressed in seconds since the epoch)
