portsmon does a great deal of work to not rely solely on the PR subject
lines, which are missing the category/portname somewhere around 30% of the
time.  (It would be nice if people would put this in, so that GNATS can
also be used to search, but they don't.)

Like Edwin's auto-assigner, it gets somewhere around 95%+ correct assignments.
When I'm not travelling, I try to catch the other few percent once a day.
