Agreed, a cleverly crafted bugzilla filter is generally the way to go.

Alternatively, you can configure bugzilla to send you emails on all activity (I do this), then use your mail filters to then star/tag all incoming mail as you see fit, so only the important ones that you want to get attention of bubble to the top.

Right now bugstefan.de it's merely a list of priority bugs for me.

Which works because there are only 3 email in it right now.

In the future it will integrate with bugzilla.

Bugzilla has an API [1]. You could use a local deamon instead, e.g to grab interesting stuff every n minutes.
