I'm concerned with hacking metadata into the description. The
reporter says "It will be hell if hoary and breezy bugs are mixed",
and they would continue to be mixed if this metadata were hacked into
the description.

This is another possible use case for keywords, the alternatives
involving adding yet another field to BugTask, or a complex
infestations mechanism, which involves even more UI.
