That's really not all that hard to do (he says, knowing he's shooting
himself in the foot as he does it).
It wouldn't be terribly hard to repurpose the show-similar-bugs view
from the +filebug process and embed it in the bug page. The hard parts
would be a) finding the best way to do it for a bug with multiple
tasks and b) getting the UI right on an already clutted page. Maybe it
could work as a YUI picker / finder...
