yet another feature request or two to be lost to a mailing list thread
along those lines:

Maintainer or not i'd like to be able to setup triggers so that i'm
automatically cc'ed on any bugs matching a simple search query i
specify.

The email sent out to people cc'ed when a new bug is opened and
unassigned should have a simple links in it when cc'ed to someone who
can be assigned bugs:  'Assign to me' that if followed will assign
that bug to them without requiring a login.
