This tags would have to be added automatically from bugzilla into the stable 
grimoire tarball on periodic generation... it could just be adding a BUGS 
file with a list of bug IDs to any buggy spell.

That is indeed very valuable... especially since we don't have bugs 
associated with spells atm, but only with sections.
It is not very comfortable to search bugzilla just by title keywords. Most 
times I want to see if that particular bug I found for a certain spell is 
already in there, having the list of bugs associated to a spell at hand by 
means of a dedicated field ("affected_spells") makes this search a lot easier.
And gaze could make a bugzilla query for

        gaze bugs <spell>

and present a list of bug ids / urls and short title line...
