True. I used to try to keep them update for Debian Science for a while
but stopped doing so at some point. I do not use that feature anymore
and therefore would not mind if we drop it.

I wanted to start working on the (Debian Science) policy again in the
very near future because there are quite some issues. I put it on my
TODO list.
If this feature is really useful for some people, we might think about
automagically extracting the relevant information from the task pages
and mailing the BTS, so the data is updated in only one place (task
pages). I once wrote a small wrapper for reportbug to include user tag
pseudo-header fields for certain tasks (not meant as in "task pages"
here), mainly for personal use. I could make it available if there is
interest in it.
Do other blends use this feature? If any effort would be made in this
direction, blends would probably the right place.
Best regards
