Where is the keyword for data integrity issues?

That's true, and in principle keywords could mostly replace tracker issues.  In
practice, they need to be created by someone who has the necessary access to do
so.  It might be easier to get a keyword created on a small Bugzilla like this
one compared to a big one like bugzilla.mozilla.org, but still....

Still, it's only the opinion of a few people.  OK, so there are probably more
whom we don't know about.  But clearly many people find them useful for various
reasons.  The commonness of them on b.m.o is evidence of this.

How does a collection of data integrity bugs constitute a "personal gripe
list"???
