  Yeah, I put together a quick little program matching that description. :-)
  It could probably be extended indefinitely..starting with the input
mechanism..it uses a straight GTK text widget..anyway, here it is..

  One addition that would be really nice is a list of the currently installed
packages for which bugs can be reported. Is there any canonical way to find
this out?
