Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. When I open a
stable/tested bug specifically for sparc, I use those keywords, but
like you said, that doesn't apply when the request hits multiple
archs.

Some sort of front-end web app could be useful for the following:

1. Properly and consistently format user stable requests and AT/dev
responses for storage in bugzilla (and avoid dupes).
2. Provide pre-fabricated bugzilla queries (and relevant formatted
output) for common related AT/dev tasks.
3. Interface with packages.gentoo.org.
4. Provide at-your-fingertips cvs info, rdep info, open bugs, stable
requests for previous versions, gatt info, etc.
