Here's anm example for sourceware bugzilla, where it's also broken, but 
used to work.

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/rest.cgi/bug?product=glibc&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=2.32&include_fields=id,component,summary

(as used in the list-fixed-bugs.py script to generate a list of bugs that 
goes in the glibc NEWS file at release time).

/www/gcc/bugzilla/Bugzilla/Install/Requirements.pm has a list of perl 
modules required by various Bugzilla features.  It appears new-sourceware 
is missing at least JSON::RPC and Test::Taint required for the REST API.  
Likely the other features people report are missing are the result of 
other such missing modules.  Some of those were in what's now the 
lib.rhel6-obsolete directory in both GCC and sourceware Bugzilla (going 
through the modules there to see what features they might cause to be 
missing may be a good idea), but you may want to install relevant modules 
from appropriate OS packages if available.
