Unfortunately, not. The SOAP function get_bugs allows only to query for
package, submitter, maint, src, severity, status, tag, owner, bugs,
affects, archive. See <https://wiki.debian.org/DebbugsSoapInterface>.

Bugs carry a last_modified attribute, but we cannot use it for queries.
This would require to extend the SOAP interface.

Best regards, Michael.
