Flag system of Bugzilla could be used - create "put name here" flag for
LibreOffice product, create grant and request group, add esc and qa team
members to them.
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/docs/en/html/flags-overview.html.
"put name here" could follow version scheme.
Bugzilla main developer Frédéric Buclin already declared help in flags setup
in bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33070. 
Flag mechanism could be used not just to nominate bugs to fix, blockers etc.
but all other Bugzilla activities (bibisect, qawanted and other requests)
and therefore not abusing whiteboard field.

While the flags stuff sound interesting in general, one reason we dont go with
keywords most of the time is that whiteboard status can be changed without
administration rights on the bugzilla. Since distributing tags over keywords,
whiteboard and flags also makes things more complex for users to get right, I
dont think we should consider it -- at least not now for a list of 5 bug numbers.

Best,

Bjoern
