I perfectly agree here and IMHO the apropriate way would be the
following:

  1. Move information of WNPP bugs into UDD
  2. Put WNPP number into tasks file (instead of copying
     the WNPP info into tasks file
  3. Render information from UDD on the tasks pages

The problem is 1. because it depends from the quality of the bug reports
to get really structured information.  In principle the reportbug
template is structured enough to enable automatic parsing - but
reporters are sometimes not strict enough to follow the template.

The procedure is one of my long term goals - I would not mind if
somebody might tackle item 1. - the other items are really cheap
to implement.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
