I agree it is limited. But, you can actually use it to create bugs, display 
lists of bugs and a number of other things.

I wrote a C# proxy for it, which interesstingly, was usuable outside my own 
organization:

Yes, this is a pain.

You can always follow the bugs at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi - 
select Product Bugzilla, component WebService.

You may even want to contribute some code/time towards the goal.
