Such a functionality is provided by AUCTeX (I can't tell about Emacs
stock LaTeX mode). Take for example this file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
Hit \verb|C-c C-t C-w| to set \verb|TeX-debug-warnings| to \verb|t|.
Run LaTeX on the file with \verb|C-c C-c RET|
Choose from the menu \verb|Command->Error Overview|

If you follow the steps mentioned above, you get this:

I think this is what the request is about, so we don't need to teach
RefTeX the same thing what LaTeX is actually doing and AUCTeX is
parsing. I also think this is the right order.
So I'd say this is wontfix.

No, it uses debbugs as well. You have to reassign the bug to AUCTeX and
you have one report less on your plate 😉
Best, Arash
