You can filter out all posts not written by bearophile + the ones that 
are not roots of the discussion threads. :) They are mostly proposals. I 
do not know why he does not use the bugzilla - unintuitive interface 
perhaps? I have always tried to avoid bugzilla because of the horrible 
UI. More often, when I search for something, the search seems to be 
broken so I delegate the search to google.
