I disagree on some aspects that it has "better alternatives". Some of
this is doing the exact same thing, just going about it a slightly
different way.

To be clear, this code started in a completely separate tree, and this
is the first commit to ubuntu-dev-tools of its codebase. I wasn't using
ubuntutools because it was "not available", not really practical to use
and keep the tree (and a snap) to use as few dependencies as possible. N

pull-lp-source use was added afterwards, and the 'mir' subcommand is
special in that I wouldn't expect it to be used by anyone but the MIR
review team -- it doesn't do much else than display a bug, find the
right bug based on a fuzzy search of the package (binary or source) to
review; and then drop you to a shell to do code review. It's certainly
reusable, but things were done in a way to scratch my own itches for the
purpose of MIR review.

Now, all this was pushed to ubuntu-dev-tools as a way to get more eyes
and more use -- so when you see things you disagree with, it's
absolutely fine for you to go ahead and fix the code. :)

Kindly,
