Michael Albinus was working on a package, xesam-debbugs.el, that was supposed to do this: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-01/msg00809.html >> The package is unfinished.

I'm guessing the necessary changes to the SOAP interface alluded to by Michael will require work on the server side. If either you or Michael are interested in poking around debbugs.gnu.org for this purpose, just shoot me an email.
