I understand the need for caution around these. Can you elaborate on what the issues are? I had thought that since the bug data bases are publicly searchable anyways, there was no more information being revealed by sharing. Is there information in the dumps that isn't available in the web interface? Or is it more the concern of having all of the information shared at once? We are public university in Canada and as such adhere to norms governing research involving human subjects and personal information. If we sought Ethics Review Board review for this research, would this allay concerns?

My research topic is to automatically detect security vulnerabilities using machine learning techniques. As part of my research, I need to obtain bug samples and fixes related to security vulnerabilities. I am currently looking into bug reports in the issue tracker of your project: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/. However, crawling the bug tracking repository may not be the best thing to do, as it may be harmful to the website. Thus I am wondering if it is possible to obtain the entire bug tracking database including summary, comments and other status fields for all bug reports? Help is really appreciated!
