Patch

period:
 12         but we might revist this question in the future

You need to explain this better.  "createBug" is the problem step here, no?
295         # We're not going to post the rollout patch to the old bug. Instead,
 296         # we're going to create a new bug that blocks the original bug.
 297         state["bug_blocked"] = state["bug_id"]
 298         del state["bug_id"]

This also doesn't help:
 299         # Now that we've danced around the bug_id issue, we can fill out the
 300         # details for the new bug we're going to create.

"danced around?"

(if we don't already have one on file)
We need a FIXME about linking possible bugs here.  We certainly have that technology (or could build it).

How do you spell "flaky"?  And "dup"?

Otherwise fine.
