At the moment, it is very hard to do. Very often, a bug is reported and nobody knows how to solve it, so the package does not even get put in the title, so its hard to find them. I've currently got a what (excluding comments) is a 3-line fix to python awaiting review. (It looks huge, the fact I've had to copy a new file python file and make a diff from that too.). There is a fairly good chance that will need re basing soon, given pyton is already at patch level 8 and it was not that long that a new upstream release was added. http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9041 for anyone that would want to look at what is a short patch in fact.
