We have a whole product that tracks the bugs as well as individual
components; as a query can be made for that, this forms no problem.

Whether Portage is CC-ed is out of this context.

This is a very good idea; I think that I can also search the URL, we
could make it commonly known that if the URL or whiteboard respcetively

It is redundant because IN_PROGRESS would mean that it is in VCS; which
is needed for better overview on the tracker, hence setting InVCS would
add no extra meaning but just reflect the IN_PROGRESS status.
