While we won't have a filter in this new feature, we will at least allow you to display tags for each task in the list. So a step in the right direction, even if it's not yet filterable. > My general feeling about Launchpad bugs is that once you find the one you want > to work on, workflow is generally very good, and I include in this patch, > branch, and merge proposal management.

I think dashboards and activity walls are a step in the right direction for this problem, but this is a hard problem to solve and unique to Ubuntu and Launchpad. Nothing else that I know of has to track the number of bugs for the number of interested parties as does Launchpad and Ubuntu. I know you know this, but I mention it for the sake of lurkers here. :) Many people have ideas about solving this, and individual ideas are often good on their own. It's putting them together that's the hard part. Heat is a good example of this. It's a great idea and it works well for one set of LP and Ubuntu users. It's horrible, a huge pain, or even completely mysterious for any number of other users.
