I just tried named query, it works this way:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?namedcmd=myquery&cmdtype=runnamed
But that obviously works only on per-user basis so I don't see any profit we 
can get here. I personally like another approach, I see bugzilla primary as 
database therefore it have to provide pure data, e.g. in rdf or rss format 
(and latest bugzilla builds do support that, but not nagoya.apache.org's one).
And having data-oriented xml we could present it in any form we like, e.g. 
what about embedding buglist into forrest (I have no idea if it's possible 
though).

I don't think there's any other way than studying what the bugzilla query 
form sends when you submit it, maybe trying to remove parameters that have no 
effect to keep the URLs short.

Bugzilla allows queries to be saved (per-user at least), you might be able to 
create a named query with the appropriate parameters and call it from a URL 
by giving only the query name (but I didn't try it). This would prevent those 
URLs from being too long, which might cause them to be broken by old browsers.
