Making "problem report #FOO" mails easier to scan.

Would it be possible to make "problem report" mails have Subject headers
like this:

   Subject: problem report #101: Variable "face" tracked as NULL [...]

?  

Or maybe even shorten the prefix, so more of the Description string is
visible:

   Subject: PR #101: Variable "face" tracked as NULL was passed to [...]

?

I assume the entire description string would be included.  Above, I'm
just eliding it the way a mailreader might cut it off along the right
edge -- say, as a Gnus Summary buffer would.

It's time-consuming to have to open the mail to get an idea of what the
problem report is about.  All the specific content is in the body:

   From: Dan Nicolaescu <address@hidden>
   Subject: problem report #101
   To: address@hidden
   Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2008 08:59:25 -0800 (PST)
   
   CID: 101
   Checker: FORWARD_NULL (help)
   File: base/src/emacs/src/font.c
   Function: font_at
   Description: Variable "face" tracked as NULL was passed to a function that 
dereferences it.

Also, is there a URL associated with each problem report?  If so, it
would be nice if the report included that URL.  (Right now, one can't
tell from looking at one of the mails what is generating them.)
