There is "patch" keyword already, and a public query "Patches"
(as well as "My Patches")

We could give more people the right to set the resolution to "Accepted".
This is a matter of trust, though - if the committer then still needs
to review it, anyway, nothing is gained.

Please go to the "edit" label next to "Search". You can store your
own searches, but you can also share searches with others.

This I don't understand - how is it different from a search?

Perhaps. I really don't know what percentage of interested users
is aware of roundup capabilities.

There is the patch keyword, and you can query for it. There is a
canned query published already.

There is the "easy" keyword. Of course, it might also be useful to
triage more issues as "easy".

The "developer" role has more user interface. I've just given it to you.

There is the tracker-discuss list for discussion, and the meta tracker
for actual problems/wishes for the tracker.
