Thanks for doing this.

Being able to structurally subscribe to Ubuntu bugs is exactly what I,
and likely the Ubuntu QA team, want to do.  I want to know about all the
bug tasks that have been set to High or Critical for any Ubuntu
package so that I can then evaluate them and if necessary bring them to
the attention of the release team for Ubuntu by targeting them to a
series / release.  I currently do this by parsing the ubuntu-bugs
mailing list which gets email regarding all public bug reports.

I can also imagine lots of ways people would want to be subscribed to
bug reports about any package with a particular tag.
