I'm seeing stuff like this in logs, which is probably relevant:

2018-11-11 03:09:48 INFO Error updating https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org: Exceeded 30 redirects.

This change seems to be an improvement as far as it goes and it gets past the previous failure, though authentication fails from our dogfood instance. This may just be a problem with the configuration on dogfood, so we'll need to see how it behaves on production.

OK, so it wasn't just a dogfood-specific problem. The new problem seems to be stuff like this:

2018-12-11 06:42:52 INFO Failure updating bug u'564437' on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org (local bug: 810622): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org: Fault 32000: API key authentication is required.

So I guess we need to work out what's changed about BMO's authentication arrangements.

The first occurrence of the "Exceeded 30 redirects" failure in our logs was at 2018-06-26 17:05:17; before that updates seemed to be working fine. Now, that does coincide with us deploying a refactoring of our external bug tracker code, so it could either be that we broke authentication to BMO somehow in the process of that, or else that BMO's authentication arrangements genuinely changed at some point between then and now but that the exact time of that was masked by the bug I fixed in r18836.
