IMO database functionality is needed. I should be easy to select items having to do with a particular module/issuer/maintainer/priority/version of Emacs/OS and possibly other. Of course that can be done with a text file, but is there existing (Emacs lisp) code that can do it? And IMHO it should be accessible from the web as well.
