Helper to file stablereqs?

We are nearly there wrt the stablereq/archtesting toolset, but not quite:

Testing packages: app-portage/pkg-testing-tools or app-portage/tatt
Getting list of work from Bugzilla, updating Bugzilla: app-portage/nattka
Processing said work automatically: https://github.com/arthurzam/tattoo
Finding stablereqs to file (or kwreqs): pkgcheck scan -k StableRequest or pkgcheck scan -k DroppedKeywords

But we have nothing to help file stablereqs. slyfox pointed this out a while ago at https://trofi.github.io/posts/214-filing-STABLEREQ-for-lazies.html (https://bugs.gentoo.org/708912). I think this would be a good fit for pkgdev.

So, funny enough, I was planing working on it this weekend. While I'm unsure about the name (I was thinking about pkgdev bugs - bad name, right...), I did have a plan for it:

accepts list of atoms (=cat/pkg-ver)
finds all extra missing packages (similar to nattka make-package-list)
build a directed graph - based on hard dependency (AKA blocks field in bug)
all packages that are in circular dependency in this graph would be collected into one "super node" (which translates into one bug with multiple packages in package list)
enable the user to stop and get the .dot file showing the graph
finally, for each new node, create automatically the bug, dependencies, maintainers
have a flag to automatically add CC-ARCHES keyword.
