Yeah -- but (see below)

It is doing just that to find the IDs to look at.
Then it actually scrapes the Trac-rendered HTML because the CSV export (as
far as I know) can't tell us answers to questions like, "How many people
were active on this bug?" I find that's a useful thing to show off.
So it's a combination of both, and we end up with a little more data than
the Trac API exports. I'll probably start serving out JSON dumps soon.
