Feature request: Search for bugs with an external bugwatch

[Peter Clifton]

I am working through our project's imported bugs, and some have bugwatches auto-added due to URLs in the comments which refer to our old tracker. (The one the import replaces with Launchpad!)

I want to find all such bugs which have an external bugwatch set so I can go through and remove those which are not relevant any more. (And add comments pointing at the appropriate LP bug).

Could "Seach for bugs with external bugwatch" be added as part of the advanced bug search page please?

I figure that this might also be useful for Ubuntu, as it may be of interest to see the status of bugs with watches to upstream bugs. Perhaps the reverse search (find bug _without_ an external bug watch) might also be useful too.

This could be good as a built in feature, but in the meantime you can
probably do it using the API.

Thanks for the suggestion. (And congrats on LP having a fantastically easy API to use!)

I'm just learning the LP API at the moment (writing a robot for git commits to close / comment on relevant bug reports mentioned in the commit message).

I disagree this is a duplicate of #28503 as I was wanting to search with bugs which had _any_ remote bug-watch.
Bug #28503 related to discovering the Ubuntu bug which matched a specific remote bug.
