I wonder if maybe the nearest step towards "better bug tracker" is a more
readily referenceable mail archive.

Clearly, one of our "frictions" is searching for relevant messages, so
improved mail archive == lowered friction, no?

There's a very particular use case; people keep rueing that indexes get cut
off on a monthly basis. That's doubtless not the only pain, but it keeps
getting mentioned, so solving it seems valuable.

Having a correlation between commits, commitfest entries, and associated
email seems like another valuable addition.

Perhaps there are more... I'm not yet poking at anything that would
suggest "email database", either.

A lot of the analysis would be more network-oriented; putting more of a
Prolog hat on, not so much tabular / relational ...
