Bug 28757 – prepare-ChangeLog -b does not know how to use bugzilla credentials

prepare-ChangeLog -b does not know how to use bugzilla credentials

This means it falls on its face if using -b with a non-public (security) bug:
prepare-ChangeLog -o -b 28755

  Description from bug 28755:

If we ever end up moving it to python, the bugzilla.py module already handles authentication like this.

Dan/Dave/someone, do you think we could hook this up by calling into python from prepare-Changelog as a fallback? I am not sure whether this will work on all configurations, but it's probably the only realistic solution in the short-term.

The following prints the expected (security) bug title to stdout, and dumps the useless webkitpy warning about logging not being set up:

python -c "from webkitpy.common.net.bugzilla import Bugzilla; bz = Bugzilla(); b = bz.fetch_bug(136715); print(b.title())" 2> /dev/null
