Description

Here are list of bugs with unclear errors:

KeyError: 'bugs': https://github.com/mozilla/bugbot/issues/1893
KeyError: 'bugs': https://github.com/mozilla/stab-crashes/issues/116
KeyError: 'comments': https://github.com/mozilla/bugbug/issues/4927
KeyError: 'history': https://github.com/mozilla/bugbug/issues/4668
KeyError: 'url': https://github.com/mozilla/bugbot/issues/2290

One way to improve it is to include the response body in the error message, which would help clarify what is actually happening.
