How sweet!  Why, thank you. :)

I agree that doing that kind of filtering is very useful.  I have
a discussion thingie (based on Roundup) at http://headspaces.com/.
(Also prototype -- very prototype.)  I hacked out the "status" and
"fixer" fields and added a "keywords" field.  Not much volume yet,
but i think it will work well.

Perhaps something like that for discussing patches?

Hmmm... maybe i should look into that after i've figured out how
super-Roundup is going to work.
