Bug Description
I am trying to get a list of every bug that affects me (as set on the top of the bug's page) using the LP API.
I can do me.searchTasks(
Test case attached. 863745 shows in results, because I reported it. 863038 does not.

Background:
I'm trying to improve update-manager launchpad integration so that changelogs, in addition to linking LP# bugs, also list whether the bug affects you. I realise that could be an expensive operation, and that is probably the reason this API call did not work the way I expected it to. But I was asked to report this, so I have.
It has also been suggested that rather than fetching the whole list of bugs, a new API call is created which takes a list of bugs and returns which ones affect the user.
