I've had some further thoughts.

And through further exploration, I realise that rather than hand crafting the URL each time, I could potentially subscribe debian-science (or indeed a pseudo e-mail address) to all the bugs - it is even possible to put them in different sections - physics, chemistry etc. The problem with doing this by hand is that it won't be up to date with the task packages. > > > > Well, the way to go is to factorize the nice work which was done by > > David Paleino for Debian Med to work for all CDDs.

I think ultimately this should be an alternative way of viewing bugs from the QA page - as it has much wider application.
