+
+We could validate that the bug number is indeed the good one :
+- print the summary ( not ideal )
+- check that the src.rpm name is correct ( ie, if the bug is filled
+against glibc and that the update is for python, show a error or ask
+confirmation ).
+
+( of course, the first part would be to have the script in svn ).
+
+If we really want to be lazy, we could have a more streamlined process,
+like extracting the advisory directly from comment, etc.
