Bugzproxy only supports the functionality exposed by the Bugzilla webservice, 
which is only very slowly evolving.

I am unsure about the current status of the bugzilla webservice, as I do not 
follow it closely at the moment.

However, I think it might be possibly on tip: 
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html . 
This page suggests that a method called get_history is present in the 
bleeding edge bugzillas. I would presume that this includes information about 
the comments.

So, if you have access to a very recent bugzilla implementation, it should be 
possibly to easily extend bugzproxy to support get_history, and perhaps wrap 
it in some convenience calls, such as "get comment". (Of course, development 
can always be done against Bugzillas tip server, but if you actually want to 
benefit from it, your own Bugzilla installation needs to be very recent).

If you do have access to a recent installation, you may be able to persuade me 
to implement support for the current get_history method in bugzilla tip, if 
you promise to test it on your own system. Because I do not have access to a 
recent/tip installation of Bugzilla.
