To me, reasoning about 'search' is the riqht direction to go. (Apologies to folks for the long URLs, but I would rather not hide the search terms here.) We've been inconsistent about applying the 'patch-ready' tag to indicate something is ready to go, but here's the current list for the Base System: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?keywords=patch-ready&keywords_type=allwords&list_id=232422&product=Base%20System&query_format=advanced&resolution=--- 8 bugs. Not that bad. The 'patch' tag by itself produces a much less satisfying result: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?keywords=patch&keywords_type=allwords&limit=0&list_id=232422&order=bug_id%20DESC&product=Base%20System&query_format=advanced&resolution=--- 600 bugs. Moderately overwhelming. Narrowing it down to just the 'kern' component only helps a little: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?component=kern&keywords=patch&keywords_type=allwords&list_id=232433&product=Base%20System&query_format=advanced&resolution=--- 300 bugs. Looking for tag 'regression' within that is more satisfying: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?component=kern&keywords=regression&keywords_type=allwords&list_id=232433&product=Base%20System&query_format=advanced&resolution=--- 82 bugs. tl:dr; expecting any sane person to 'browse' thousands of entries of any kind from _any_ kind of list, is itself madness. OTOH myself, and koobs and others, are willing to work on the search metadata to at least make 'search' reasonable.
