A feature I can't recall seeing anywhere, but one I'd like:

   the ability to define a filter, and have the tracker email me when a new 
bug is submitted that matches the filter (being able to create an RSS feed 
based on a filter would be just as good)

Something that I dislike about SF:

   the fact that I can't use email to participate in a bug discussion, but 
have to use SF's somewhat horrible web interface.

OK, I guess I slipped in another feature request with that second one ;)

Cheers,
Nick.
