Can't this just be a button in the Bugzlla user account editing UI?

It could possible be a Bugzilla extension. https://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.4/en/html/api/Bugzilla/Extension.html

It can if someone else writes the Perl code to do that. But that would be per account, and not in bulk like the tool supports. I personally wouldn't be using such a button, as getting all the way to the user edit page is more effort than pasting a list of e-mails into command line.

To be fair, there are potential benefits to a server side implementation: - Can use it from devices that don't have command line. - Can be restricted to a custom group, so we could make more people spam fighters.
