Have you ever been looking at a bug report and looked at one attachment
and then another and then another try to find the exact thing you
wanted?  I personally found this process rather painful and wanted to
write something to download all the attachments to my system so I would
have them all available and could look at them locally.  I recently
found out I didn't need to write it because it already existed!

There is a python script called grab-attachments which is part of the
ubuntu-dev-tools package which you pass a bug number or two or three.

grab-attachments 773137

This will create a folder named bug-773137 in your current directory
with all the bug's attachments!  Then you can use grep or something with
all of them.
