I just implemented this; below are two examples of this:

http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=tcp_mark_head_lost
http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=input_release_device

The ratio of automatic versus mailinglist/bugzilla mails is quite high in favor
of the automatic ones so there's not all THAT many of these at this point,
especially in the "searchweek" version, which only shows the last 7 days of
reports.
