Do we have a graph of the historical trend of the number of bugs (or at least the historical details stored somewhere)? I think we have had a net decrease in open bugs the last couple of weeks and it would be neat to see an absolute and relative graph of the overall trend since Python 3.3.0 was released. Also might make a nice motivator to try to close issues faster. =)

Otherwise is the code public for this somewhere? I assume it's making an XML-RPC call or something every week to get the results, but if I decide to do a little App Engine app to store historical data and do a graph I would rather not have to figure all of this out from scratch. =) Although I could I guess also parse the email if I wanted to ignore all other emails.

A few months ago I made a script that downloads all python-dev mailman archives, scans them to find the summary messages, parses the messages and creates a graph using matplotlib. The script is available at https://gist.github.com/2723809.
