That's the key bit that Uwe wanted here. Topics are supposed to "melt
away" once a changeset becomes public. How that happens in practice is
that the topic is kept in the 'extras' dict, but it's supposed to be
ignored if the changeset is public. Uwe wants to see it anyway.
Semantically, this is saying "what the topic *was* before the changeset
became public", but it's still interesting information.

(Thanks for the example template stuff, btw -- I didn't know how it
worked before reading your post.)
