The problem is: how to get the bugs assigned to certain package versions ?

I did not yet see any consistent syntax for version information in 
the bugs. 

Could we add fields for package name and version in bugzilla ?
This should allow an easy querying. 

Perhaps we could get this done better with an little (cmdline ?)
tool for bug-reporting, which collects the necessary information 
by itself.

For example:

foo:/ # bug-report findutils
Reporting bug for: sys-apps/findutils-4.3.0

Enter description (press CTRL-D):   

....

... posting bug ... added ID: 238472

foo:/ #


If bugs of certain packages get reported this way, we could put
virtually anything (package list, use flags, mask file, ...) into it,
and the doesn't have to even think about what could be needed.
This also could take some load from the bug-wranglers, since these
bugs could be directly assigned to the appropriate package/herd
mainatainers.
