I can take responsibility for it, since I brought the thread up.  I
would even consider maintaining a patch myself if the request is
rejected.  Is there a consensus on what form we would like this to take?
I see two options.  First:

   sort=thread
   sort_aux=subject
   sort_aux2=date

implying a fixed number of sort criteria, just more than are
available now.  Second:

   sort=thread/subject/date

implying an arbitrary number of sort criteria.  

Which is more likely to be implemented?  (I'm thinking there must have
been a reason for only allowing two criteria in the first place, and it
might have been to avoid the complexity of dealing with an arbitrary
number of sort criteria.)
