Yep, I had the same problem[1].

I'll try to implement this today.

I think it helps giving some perspective to newcomers, but it might be
better to move it to the bottom of the report.

Looks good, I'll add this to our current report (as opposed to
replacing the corresponding bits) and ping this list and #python-dev
so we can compare and improve the format.

Just to be clear, 'Old issues reopened' includes old issues that were
'pending' and are now 'open', right?

Yes :)

I'd like to add line graphs to show how the numbers change during
time, preferably using the Google Chart API[2] (and maybe TinyURLs).
Also, I think we might include a link to Facundo's report[3] (I wish
the activity graph as bigger and started at, say, 2006).
Best regards,
Daniel
