gnatsparse is for converting gnats to bugzilla.
bug_email.pl is an inbound email handler that converts gccbug reports 
to bugzilla ones.
I've already updated both for 3.3.1.

the converter was rewritten by me in python so it would be 
understandable, and submittable to bugzilla's main sources.
It will be in the bugzilla distribution soon.

Why would one list a one-time db converter tool in the release notes?
Once the db conversion is done, there is no need to *ever* run 
gnatsparse again.
