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?

Cheers, M.
