Thanks for the reminder of of our projects list, and for the work of 
keeping it up to date.  It's a big help!

I think this is a fine idea, Pekka.  It cannot hurt to try it, for sure.

Is it the Status Whiteboard field on Bugzilla that you propose this
keyword go into?  Or would it go into Bugzilla's keyword field?
  (<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/describekeywords.cgi>)

Another alternative is to create a "tracking" bug in which to list all
bugs in this category.  However, I don't know if creating a tracking bug
would really prove to be helpful or not in the context you are thinking
of using it, Pekka.
