[gentoo-dev] A new bugzilla keyword for bug investigation

Good morning everyone,

during tinderbox activity I realized that sometimes there are bugs with unknown causes at 
the time of filing.

Examples are:
- no "error: " string
- mysterious test failures
- hidden bugs on build.log but present on config.log and/or additional files
- bugs that may be related to new toolchain components, but not clearly stated

For that reason I would like to propose a new bugzilla KEYWORD, like:

- NEEDS-TRIAGE
or
- NEEDS-INVESTIGATION

or whatever you think is better.

With that KEYWORD we can set-up a saved search and 'experienced' devs can help to 
diagnose the issue.

This KEYWORD is supposed to be set manually and not supposed to be set automatically 
when there is a missing "error: " string. And obviously it can be used by everyone that 
needs help.

Before send this to the mailing list, I talked about that with sam (since he is one of those 
who does this activity) and agreed.

What do you think?

Agostino
