Sorry, I was trying to refer to automating that I am currently manually
filing a bug when committing, because its contents are usually the same.

When committing a package I could have repoman ask to "File a bug?" and
then it would drop the keywords or package.use.mask them (it kind of
depends on what we decide we consistently want to do) and then make a
KEYWORDREQ bug based on the list of keywords that it warned about.

That way deferring it to other persons or delaying it for later in the
day won't happen as side effects.

These kind of dropped keywords happen frequently with Java packages;
version bumps usually bring in new and/or rare dependencies that are
only keyworded for amd64, whereas the package itself has multiple.
