It would be great if merged bugs could be viewed in some way
together. Ah, it would be great anyway to have some sort of threaded
view of the mails to a bug, and then the merged bugs could be displayed
on one page, but with separate roots for each single bug.


Merged bugs 12345: foo is foo
            12567: foo is kind of foo
            15789: why is foo so foo?

12345: Some User
       |-> Maintainer
         |-> ...

12567: Other User
       |-> Maintainer
         |-> ...
