No need...
The tags get awkward very quickly, and there's a blank in the bugzilla
forms that let you associate a tag with the bug report.
There's also a wonderful eclipse-integrated tool from Gail Murphy and
her students at UBC called Hipicat, which we can use if we want. (Gail
is the advisor of Annie Ying, who I've been working with on Stellation
related stuff. Annie will be using Hipicat on the Stellation CVS
repository as part of her masters thesis.) Hipicat analyzes CVs
repositories and associated bugzilla databases in order to identify
checkins and generate associations with bugs based on time correlations.
(The principle is: if bugs are closed when the fix is checked in, and
you know that a bug report was closed within a time time window of
when a checkin occured, then you can infer that that checkin fixed that
bug.)
