You can't really bisect 2 bugs at the same time, but you can do multiple tests
on each step of the bisect for 1 bug to reduce the number of steps for any
other bugs.

For example, using + to denote bug presence or - to denote bug absence, we knew
both regressions happened between 2015 and 2018:

Year 2015                                           2018
      +-----------------------------------------------+
    127738-                                         127738+
    127861-                                         127861+


And after testing a commit in year 2017 and getting this result:

Year 2015                    2017                   2018
      +------------------------+----------------------+
    127738-                 127738-                 127738+
    127861-                 127861-                 127861+

I now know both regressions happened after that 2017 commit, so when I bisect
bug 127861, I can start from 2017 instead of 2015, reducing the number of
bisect steps.
