That's some interesting stuff.  Took me a second to realize that the
temporal column's total length is the time range from the opening of
the oldest bug to the latest comment made on any bug and that the blue
bar is where within that time frame the bug was opened and the last
comment was made on that bug.

But still interesting!  Led to me closing a bug and a patch that were
old and had not been touched in ages.  Hopefully you will be able to
easily port this over to the new tracker once it's up (that should
happen 2-4 weeks after 2.5.1 is released).
