I suggested a clientside implementation with comparable intent in
devscripts #356689. Present implementation seems somewhat less
developer-oriented than yours. I didn't want to list all bugs in ones'
packages, since for some people this is way to many and just reduces the
usefulness of other data. Perhaps it is reasonable though if it is
included as the last list and configurable.
