Guten Morgen :-)

Well, in fact we have already an asynchronous communication via
SOAP. debbugs-search calls soap-invoke, which sends a SOAP request, and
waits for the SOAP result. But we couls use soap-invoke-async instead,
which decouples the two phases. debbugs.el is already prepared for it,
via function debbugs-soap-invoke-async. So we could implement
asynchronous search. Patches welcome!

Anything goes, of course. But I suspect the Bugzilla interface is too
different from the Debbugs interface; an own package accessing Bugzilla
might be better.

A short web search shows, that other people have also interest in
accessing Bugzilla from Emacs. I have no idea, whether there exists a
respective package, 'tho.
