For those wondering why this is being sent out.
We'd like to get a
better idea of how were doing in bugs coming in/out and the types of
issues moving about on a weekly basis.
Brion just wanted a simple and quick to read summary email that we could
all take a look at and either pat ourselves on the back for a week well
done, gripe over too many bugs or wallow in a state of ambivalence.
There are always more metrics that could be added to it but that would
just complicate it from looking like a scoreboard.
Maybe a list of individual changed bugs at the bottom would be
helpful. I'm thinking something like
Bugs RESOLVED FIXED:
(bug nnnnn) Special:Widget broken on MS-DOS servers
(bug nnnnn) ...
and so on. It would be a couple hundred extra lines, but it would be
useful to be able to skim it over quickly to see if there's anything
interesting-looking.
