I started thinking about it when https://bugs.gentoo.org/351922 was |
| 5 |
filed (this is only an example). |

The SECURITY keyword is not applied consistently (~80 bugs total), but |
| 8 |
the description says "Add this on all security related issues." |

Yes, the same way. |

I wonder how many e-mails would be sent if we used the "Change several |
| 21 |
bugs at once" Bugzilla feature. My guess is just one e-mail. |

Oh, I guess infra would reject spending time on this (low benefit to |
| 27 |
effort ratio indeed). |

Maybe we can just update description of obsolete KEYWORDS with something |
| 30 |
like "*** DEPRECATED *** don't use for new bugs". That should be easy |
| 31 |
and address most of my original point. |
