I've uploaded test version of the tool at deb http://people.debian.org/~taru/deb/apt-listbugs/ ./
I'd like you to check it. Currently, it retrieves bugs from not bugs.debian.org, but hanzubon.debian.gr.jp, which does proxy-caching of bugs.debian.org temporally. This keeps a query to bugs.debian.org for 20 miniutes to avoid many queries to it. I guess we need more sophisticated framework.
