Yeah, related to that:

If we had a way to figure out how to denote these bugs, I think it
would be useful to send out a report on them once a week or so. That
way when maintainers are busy/unable to look at things, we can see what
the 'hot bugs' are and others can try and lend a hand. 

Unfortunately, it's not easy to get that kind of thing out of
bugzilla. ;(
