There's an alias feature that lets you name bugs (as long as it starts 
with a letter, you can include numbers in it).  aliases can be used 
interchangeably with the bug IDs almost everywhere you can put a bug ID. 
  It probably wouldn't be too hard to hack post_bug.cgi to automatically 
assign an alias based on your criteria when a new bug is filed.
