I occasionally use the usertags feature to tag bug reports as for NS,
which is very helpful for finding relevant bugs. Someone else was
doing it before me, and not all NS bugs are tagged. I struggle to
remember how to use the email-based admin for debbugs, so I only ever
tag them when I'm using the emacs debbugs UI, which is much less often
than I use my MUA.

Not relevant to this discussion, but it has just occurred to me that
since I write all my emails in Emacs it should be possible to create
some sort of system for semi-automatically inserting debbugs commands
into the current email body.
