New prefix; Firmware bug, issue or request list

Prefix
Can a new prefix be added to postings? Prefix: Touch Glo Mini Aura?
Now it only possible to select one device. A little "problematic" for soms threads as future firmware features requests and firmware bugs: the same bugs and feature request for different devices in different threads (Touch and Glo).
My opinion: firmware releases are the same for all devices (until further notice): Touch, Glo, Mini and Aura. So bugs (and feature requests) apply to all devices. Except when noted or a feature (e.g. front light) is limited to some devices. But still should be posted in the same thread.

Firmware bug, issue or request list
Second, can a list of reported bugs/issues/requests added to the first or second post of the threads? Or in a closed separate thread that is periodically updated based on post in firmware related threads?

At the moment it is quite complicated to find out if a bug already has been reported. As the threads are usually long and also contain remarks, work arounds etc.

E.g.
Known bugs
Open
* (some) dictonaries not functioning: wrong format (#posting number) (# firmware release)
* annotations/bookmark issues (#posting number) (# firmware release)

Closed/Solved (by Kobo, no user work arounds)
* issue (#posting number (# firmware release)

Where:
#posting number: first posting reporting a bug/issue in current or previous thread.
# firmware release: bug/issue first appeared in firmware release number x.x.x)


You'll get the idea. Better suggestions are welcome.
It also becomes much easier to track Kobo's efforts to solve known bugs.
