Once new search is working, the first enhancement to

solved by the "out-of-the-box" search that is being worked on now.
John provided a link to Bugzilla[4] at which Chad has stated it would
be a great feature, and it would be even more awesome to have the
"Assigned to" change from "Nobody - You can work on this!" to
"WMF
Platform Team". The WMF has the coin, it has the tech talent, now we
as a community need that solution.
Apart from everyone going to the Bugzilla report and adding their
support for this feature (which they should do), how can we go about
ensuring that such a feature is treated as a priority by the WMF?

I second this.
Niabot's clustering idea was the most sensible proposal to come out of all
the brainstorming effort that went on at the time. No tagging, no
censorship concerns, yet elegantly solves the problem of isolated NSFW
results appearing out of the blue.
This would be a good thing to work on.
