It's easy, actually... 

 * #555886 [w| |☺↝☣] [binutils-gold] <-- this bit tells you what
package it was assigned to.

It's quite possible to have bugs in lots of packages present in a
page, and the only way to tell is by looking at bit in brackets where
the package is listed.

This is a possibility, but if you don't want to see them, you can
exclude them with noaffects=yes. [Well, you will once I merge a fix to
a small bug, anyway.]
