I don't see why BzAPI should have a higher priority on someone else's
changes. You are not the only one to use remote clients to interact with
Bugzilla, and the other client would have the same problem as you. So if
you come after the other user, *you* should get the midair collision,
not the other user.

About GET_LOCK, depending on how it's used, you could easily block all
changes to a single bug, if this lock isn't released for some reason. It
sounds like a come back of LOCK TABLES to me, though not exactly the
same thing.
