I think HTML scraping is a really bad idea. What is it that you specifically want to do with these data? For starters, free form searches, aggregation and filtering of results. The web interface is pretty good for handling individual issues, but not so good for adding someone as nosy to lots of issues.

I should have thought of this earlier: I'm downloading A CSV file (displaying all fields) with all issues and will insert that into a DB (maybe through my local tracker instance). Thanks for asking the 'think about it' question! :)
