Usually going to

<http://trac.macports.org/query>

and selecting Summary from 'Add filter' can get you to port-related tickets
quickly since most of them have the port name in the summary (there's also a
port field but older tickets didn't have it and won't be found searching on
that).  There's also the 'Ticket Search' link on the left which goes to

<http://trac.macports.org/search?portsummarysearch=on>

and lets you search both port & summary, though I use the first mostly out
of habit.

Also being on the macports-tickets list (where every ticket change is sent)
help keep awareness up.

Finally, in the specific case of the ticket I mentioned earlier, that is one
I filed so I definitely knew of it...
