You didn't consider people or pseudousers, who are assigned to packages
with dozens of bugs. Also some developers are using NEW as their state
for something.

I'm afraid we end up with more bureaucracy than we have now. I'm not
against tracking some statistics, so you can look up who is active and
probably will answer in few days, but I'd rather not use it for the
unresponsive process.
