Dear Maintainer,
I propose to add to bts(1) a --cache-mode that caches 'bts status' output.
Use-case: I've taught zsh completion to show the bug subjects alongside
the bug numbers¹, but the implementation parses the <title> attribute
from the HTML cache files using Perl, and I'd like to simplify it to
parse 'bts status' output instead, without requiring online access.
Cheers,
Daniel
