There is a script to unpack a .crash file into its elements
(apport-unpack), but it's not integrated in the way you describe.  The
python-apport API allows you to unpack a .crash file
(apport.Report.load()), generate an apport.Report() object out of it,
and upload its data to an existing bug
(apport.crashdb.CrashDatabase.update()).
