There was some discussion about this recently:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909480

Bugzilla dev's rejected exposing a 'clone' option in the xmlrpc API. I don't
really want to maintain a script that's just duplicating web UI functionality
in python-bugzilla. So yeah.

One of the users in that bug says he has a script to simulate clone. But you
might be able to find some way to automatically perform a clone by formatting
a bugzilla http URL. Play with partner-bugzillla.redhat.com and see what URLs
it generates when you click on the 'clone bug' option.
