In Trac, if I just want to loosely associate several tickets together
I'd use *keywords*, e.g., put "index am" in the keywords list for
several tickets, and then they'll show up prominently when I search
for those terms.

If I want something more structured I'd use a *milestone*. I'd create
an "Index AM" milestone and attach all the relevant tickets to it.
Then I can easily pull up a report of all open tickets on the Index AM
milestone (or all closed tickets, or all tickets regardless of status,
or all tickets assigned to me, or all tickets not assigned to anyone
yet, or ...)

Cheers,
