Installer doesn't use the Mxxxx prefix at all, it was Tim's idea. I just
wanted the change sets to look tidier, in the changeset browser, and be
easier sort in a list.

The csv export is searchable from Installer, so it would be good to do.

Installer mantis search: [ :bug | bug category = 'Collections' ]

A full export download of Mantis is available in
ftp://squeak:viewpoints@squeak.warwick.st/mc/Mantis packages
'Mantis-Core' 'Mantis-Bugs' that we could run such queries against.

I would like to do something like that, but it is tricky to work out
exactly what will work.

Installer records the fixes that it applied in: Installer mantis
fixesApplied

I wanted two coloured status' to indicate 1) that they are in the
test-candidate image, and 2) that they are in the
stable-candidate-image.  The "fixed in" field: can indicate which image
the fix is targeted for. We dont currently have a field that indicates
"Fix available", like an in-tray. I also think that the "resolved" field
could use some more options, since "fixed/open" are all that is
generally used.
