Actually, that extra layer already exists.  There is already the
ability for anonymous users to add keywords to tickets.  All we have
to do, as the community, is agree on the meaning of keywords that we
want to apply to tickets. i.e:

r2g: ready to go
micro: a really small fix
typo, docs, etc

As the core team members start to realize that things are being tagged
by the community, they'll start searching on the tags.  If you want to
contribute by tagging up a bunch of patches, I would think it would be
appreciated.
