Use the ticket filtering feature of trac, eg :
http://dev.haiku-os.org/query?status=assigned&status=in-progress&status=new&status=reopened&type=enhancement&component=Applications%2FIcon-O-Matic&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&col=component&order=priority
ions%2FIcon-O-
Matic&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone
&col=component&order=priority

(All Icon'O'Matic enhancements)
