Yes.  I wrote the attached script to change the Responsible: field of 
reports after a colleague left.

It does a lot of checking on files and also on its arguments, but the 
trick is to create a little temporary file that does the replacement 
(using the UNIX editor "ed"), have $EDITOR point to it, and then call 
edit-pr for each report.

(I used this idea for other purposes, too.  E.g., when we were shifted 
from Siemens to Infineon I needed to adjust all our mail addresses, and 
I used the opportunity to also cleanup the X-GNATS-NOTIFY: lines from 
obsolete addresses.)


Note that this still stems from the GNATS 3.11x times; the line
	pr_list=`awk ...`
will not work with GNATS 4 (the index file is now a binary format).  The 
line extracts those reports that belong to the old responsible and are 
not closed.

But I think this should get you started.


Have a nice weekend,
