That's the direction we are going with hackorum.dev. It already makes
reading/searching/using the lists much easier, and we are working on
many features that will move it even more towards a proper bug tracker
/ review tool based on the mailing list. You can also suggest ideas or
PRs :) (we are already working on LLM-assisted automatic grouping, for
example, soon available)

Thanks, that's a useful link I didn't know about. I already built
something similar during the year (for now privately) for reviewing
patches, which is based on the claude/codex CLI, so it works with
subscriptions instead of API based billing. The long term goal with
that is also to automatically run it for every patch submission (and
commits, as sometimes there are changes between the last patch and the
committed code), and to make it public, but I want to make it really
good before I publish it.

I would be still more worried about the part that without a human
actually looking at it, we are just risking disclosing/finding
security issues more easier. I know LLMs are already capable of
finding many, but we shouldn't make it even more easier by just
dumping lots of unreviewed bugreports on the internet.
