In GNATS 3.113, this already exists if you build it --with-release-based.
The field is supported by TkGnats, I assume but don't know for sure that
gnatsweb does as well, but you'll have to check.

I think all you need to do after rebuilding gnats is to run "gen-index" to
build a new index with the three new fields that you get
--with-release-based. With TkGnats, you can "hide" the other two if you
don't want them (Keywords and Quarter).

In V4, you can add and subtract whatever you want!
