I think you can send an email to wine-bugs asking for this to be changed?
Or IRC, or -devel... there are many places to ask.
The problem with keywords is people putting "fixme" in just because
there's a fixme in the console output. It's rarely related.
(Annoyingly, some people do the opposite to me) :P
And "patch" doesn't mean there's a patch attached, it means there's been
a patch sent and it's waiting for approval (according to the help
section in Bugzilla).
I foresee many issues with this proposal.
It's also annoying getting, "I see this too when I press X and then blah
and then this..." when the cause is already found, and when a user can
just CC themselves or vote for a bug.
The cause, fix or workaround ends up buried under a load of junk.
