[webkit-dev] Removing keywords from resolved bugs

[Joost de Valk]

My vote would be for adapting Bugzilla. Though I tend to agree with Eric 
and have removed keywords from bugs before, David Kilzer's idea seems 
easier to implement and less work to maintain :) . As i am also an 
Opendarwin admin, i'll be happy to look into it :)
