Adding tickets, for one thing.

I want to (and, as of 1 hour ago, I can) run

  rake trac:post_task

and answer a few prompts (summary,  description, ticket type [defaults 
to task] )

and have a new ticket created in Trac.

Or run

   rake trac:tickets_for james

and get back a plain-text list of open tickets assigned to me.

The first I can now do.  The second is not a big need (I just made it 
up, actually), but reasonably useful, and easy enough to code (pulling 
stuff from Trac is easier than pushing).

It would be more interesting if I could query for tickets that way, see 
if there are any tickets related to something or other (tag/keyword 
search), and then add a ticket if I need to.

These are the sorts of little things that I'd like to do from the 
command line while working, to avoid the psychic disruption of clicking 
around a Web page.
