Fedora infrastructure depends on python-bugzilla in various ways:
http://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/python-bugzilla/2012-June/000001.html

Red Hat bugzilla originally had a totally custom API. Much of that is
being dropped in 2013, API conversions outlined here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822007

Externally facing RH bugzilla instance that doesn't send email and is
refreshed periodically. This is what is used in the functional test suite:
http://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com

Some trackers in the wild to use for API testing:
    bugzilla.redhat.com
    bugzilla.mozilla.org
    bugzilla.kernel.org
    bugzilla.gnome.org
    bugs.freedesktop.org
    bugzilla.novell.com
    bugzilla.zimbra.com
    bugzilla.samba.org
    bugs.gentoo.org
