There are (at least) 2 problems which might delay publishing a little bit:
- The SOAP interface does not support querying bug subjects yet. I'm
investigating, whether this could be enhanced.
- My code uses soap-client.el from
<http://code.google.com/p/emacs-soap-client/>. I've asked Alex
Harsanyi, the author, for signing FSF legal papers, and he agreed. So
we must wait, until this procedure is finished.

It shouldn't be a problems when handled via SOAP.

I have in mind a simple interface. Strings, separated by spaces, are
used as AND concatenation. For the time being this could be in the bug's
subject, but I would also like to have a full text search in the
future. If the search is directed to other bug attributes, it could be
prefixed by the attribute, like "package:gnus" or
"submitter:tassilo@member.fsf.org".
