Wild idea:

What I'd really like to see is a "minimized test case" field (which may
be a pointer to an attachment) and an SQL query to extract them all.  

That way, people could put DejaGNU-ified test cases in the bug database,
rip them all out with the query, and test them on their target.  Even if
only a few people would to that, we would know much sooner if/when a bug
got fixed unnoticed (ie. PR not in CVS commit msg.), and to which target
the bug applies.

The idea is that we really would like to be able to batch-test PR
reports.  Janis and Wolfgang have talked about a PR testsuite, and this
idea was mentioned again earlier in this thread, but we really don't
want to litter the test suite that much.  With an easy way to extract
all minimized test cases, you'd effectively have the same thing without
even touching the testsuite.

Thoughts?
