http://bugday.gentoo.org/ would easily be made able to show bugs with a
specific Bugzilla keyword only. If I recall correctly, we had to do some
very naughty things back when Gentoo changed the Bugzilla system to run
with a MySQL cluster as backend. Back in the early days of Bugday, the
site queried the database directly, but these days it uses Bugzilla's
XML API for all the requests, which is why it takes forever to load the
page. We did spend one Bugday making it a bit faster though, but it's
still not fast enough (yes, it was even worse before that). A rewrite
with a cache would probably not be a bad idea and it would be an easy
task for any user who wants to contribute with something useful :)

Until then, it would probably be a good idea to clean up the ACL of
http://bugday.gentoo.org/. I'm still able to log in using my ancient
username and password, and I can see on the accesslist that there are
multiple former developers who still has access to the site.
