4) is already possible: append &include=upstream to a pkgreport.cgi URL
(unless you're talking about all upstream bugs, in which case it can be
done in the same way as the current help/unreproducible/security pages).
Similarly, 3) is possible by appending &exclude=upstream.
The sortable-by-severity stuff is doable using
http://bugs.debian.org/~cjwatson/severity.cgi, which I hope to
eventually get around to moving somewhere semi-official once bugs.qa.d.o
is created.
