Hi all,

I'm really glad to see all of this happening.

That's exactly what happens: qa-tagger will find all bugs associated to a mp
and tag them properly (qa-needstesting or qa-untestable, given the case).

Note: qa-tagger processes all bugs that are linked to the source branch of
your mp, so if you're reusing branches to land fixes (hi Robert :P) tagger
will re-tag all linked bugs (even if they're not related to relevant fix).
There's a bug filed to fix that [0].
