The simplest way I can think of, though not a particularly elegant one,
is to do something like this:

    from lp.bugs.adapters.bugchange import BugTaskStatusChange
    change = BugTaskStatusChange(
        bug_task=bug_task, when=UTC_NOW, person=current_person,
        what_changed='status', old_value=old_bugtask_status.title,
        new_value=new_bugtask_status.title)
    bug_task.bug.addChange(change)

However, I'd be inclined to say "use whatever the API uses," but I don't
actually know what that is (just from a bit of looking around at pre-8am
I can't find it, anyway).
