yeah but generating that list is not so easy - in a perfect world that 
short overview list would be generated by whatever tool we use.

most modern trackers can do that more or less (like BZ can track 
conversations provided it has "some" way to infer what mail might be 
related to what bug/patch/featurerequest).
I'm trying to hack that feature up for the demo install to simply do 
that transparently for -bugs so that we can see this working for the 
simple case of -bugs without having to do any chances ...

yes well but that interface could very well be a more featureful tracker 
that we use to generate that list ...
