i would prefer to avoid adding another custom field if possible, as

keywords may be a viable alternative.<br>

<pre>RE: QA Whiteboard
Robert Kaiser has started a separate discussion about the ambiguity around QA tags, flags, and keywords:

Perhaps we could resolve that discussion before pulling a trigger on any Bugzilla changes?

Subject: Bugspam generated by the new process (was: Re: Proposed Revision to Iterative Development)
Thread hijack, just a little :)
I agree with you that the bugspam from whiteboard annotations is
annoying. I've been assuming we'd address that by:
- moving to using the QA whiteboard (introduced in bug 978850) for the
[qa] tagging
- introducing a similar new custom field for the "point value" and
"iteration" tagging
- fixing bug 990980 to allow people to opt out of bugmail for such changes
glob, does that plan sound feasible?
