to this excellent list i would like to add:
- the ability to manually subscribe/unsubscribe to/from an issue.  the 'my issues' queue would be much friendlier if this level of intelligence was added. my 'my issues' screen currently has about 5 pages, maybe 3 of which contain issues where i left a passing comment, and am no longer focusing on.
- somebody mentioned it before, but let's make sure it's counted: a way to perform some mass operations on the results of the search page. like mass changing the status of issues, or mass assigning/unassigning.
- this may be reaching a little, but AJAX teasers for issues?

i think the above would help to make the search results pages operate more like a 'command center' for patch reviews.

- Selecting things in small select boxes is a pain. You can't see your

full selection and lose it with one click while not holding down the

right keys. I would recommend checkboxes instead.

- There is no way to select all of 5.x or 4.7.x.

- The defaults include support requests. Does anyone actually leave

that selected?

- There are better page layout mechanisms than the arbitrary table.

Make sure things are in places that make sense.

- A little bit more descriptive text can get new users up to speed

faster, but not get in the way of power users.


On to the results page:

- This is a good page to come back to, but getting a specific url for

it requires knowing to click the # hidden at the bottom. We should go

directly to the permanent link.

- The dropdowns are inadequate to represent your search and are often

wrong. A full description of the search should be shown, even if it is

not editable. The dropdowns should probably be skipped all together.

- There is no way to get to a pre-filled advanced search screen from

your current results. Making minor adjustments to the search is

impossible, unless you are lucky enough to have it in your browser

history.

- A line saying how many issues were found would help with tracking progress.
