Research direction
Start by reading bugbug/tools/core/platforms/bugzilla.py around lines 86 and 95, then trace how Bugzilla responses are consumed by the sanitization process. Determine how unexpected schemas or blocked 200 responses should be detected, and verify that these cases no longer fail silently.
