I think this is a great idea, but I'm not sure it belongs in bzr.

This is mostly useful to bzr developers.  Other projects don't
necessarily use the same NEWS format as bzr does.  For other projects,
"Fix released" isn't handled the same way as in bzr.

It also adds a dependency on launchpadbugs.  There's a tightrope we walk
between making bzr completely bugtracker-neutral and making it
completely dependent on Launchpad.  Also, why launchpadbugs instead of
using launchpadlib?
