I guess we need a server side component for that. Installing something
on the GNOME infrastructure would be a solution, but maybe we could
use a third party search engine such as https://codesearch.debian.net/
or http://code.openhub.net/ which potentially means we have even more
results as we get third party code that is not hosted on the GNOME
infrastructure indexed as well (and also less work for our admins).

Fields and workflow vary widly between any two bugtrackers, so while
they may be the same in essence it's difficult to have an abstraction
that matches all of them.

Isn't there a design guideline regarding the different types and
urgencies of notifications? I guess you don't expect the same
notification for "Your dentist appointment is in 5 minutes so you
should get going" and "Someone made a pull request, when you're back
in a coding context and have some time you should consider having a
look".

And/or to a pastebin of your choice?
