I think a "new bugs&patches this week" email wouldn't hurt. Perhaps just "new patches", actually -- as Martin pointed out, these are probably more important. Plus there are less of them, which is no bad thing.
Ah, the "new this week" makes this interesting and different from what we have. I would definitely like to see both new bugs & patches.
I can imagine some more features:
- resolved items this week (good for morale, assuming it's a number > 0)
I think it usually will be.
- active items (items that had at least one comment added or other status change)
- comatose items (items with exceptionally long inactivity)
There may be rather a lot of these :(
- unassigned items
Ditto :(
- new unassigned items with no comments added (those are the ones that need triage most dearly)
How would one implement this? A screen-scraper? Does someone have one already written?
