Comment:

 1. Should be fixed, please resubmit a separate ticket if you still have
 problems.

 2. I'm not going to add a button/link on every page in Trac, but MacPorts
 management can tweak some of their front-end pages as they desire to help
 with this.

 3. I'll note this for the next round of style/layout improvements.

 4. See #3

 5. The MP management might consider using more Components, perhaps even 1
 component per port. The labor for creating/maintaining them is pretty high
 though. Perhaps just try to enforce putting the port name in Keyword? Then
 some custom/pre-made queries can be generated against the Keyword field?

 6. There is a standard query for that already. See also #6 for find bugs
 by port.

 7. MP management should revamp the options under their Admin panel for the
 various selections.

 8/9/10.  Which help/link specifically? If you're talking about the built-
 in Trac help, thats not maintained by us. Certainly some MP-specific
 guidelines could be posted into the Wiki after some issues above are
 worked out.


 Overall, I'm assigning to MP management to try to tweak some things above.
