Help For Getting Bug Reports in Issue Tracker

[Mingyue Yang]

Hello FreeBSD Team,


  I am a student from University of Toronto doing research. My research topic is to automatically detect security vulnerabilities using machine learning techniques. As part of my research, I need to obtain bug samples and fixes related to security vulnerabilities.


  I am currently looking into bug reports in the issue tracker of your project: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/. However, crawling the bug tracking repository may not be the best thing to do, as it may be harmful to the website. Thus I am wondering if it is possible to obtain the entire bug tracking database including summary, comments and other status fields for all bug reports?

  Help is really appreciated!

Thank you,

Shirley Yang
