Description
BMO supports pronoun substitution (e.g. %assignee% for the bug assignee as per BMO documentation), which can improve rule efficiency.
Currently, in scripts like uplift_beta.py, a separate filter is applied after retrieving bugs. By using pronoun substitution, we could directly filter for bugs with a needinfo requestee matching the assignee, potentially streamlining the process.
This approach requires investigation to confirm functionality, however.

Research direction
Start by locating get_bz_params() and reviewing its use in rules/uplift_beta.py. Check the linked BMO documentation and verify whether pronoun substitution supports the needed needinfo requestee and assignee filtering. Done means confirming the behavior and, if supported, replacing the separate post-retrieval filter with the direct query.
