Bug icons in branch listing don't indicate importance

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

In a branch listing, such as <https://code.launchpad.net/bzr>, branches that are linked to bug reports are indicated with a bug icon.

These bug icons are always grey, regardless of the importance of the bug. They would be more informative if they were colored like the icons in bug listings.

This might require calculating an "aggregate importance" value for all a bug's bugtasks, to determine what icon to show. (This calculation might also be necessary when fixing bug 1357.)

Related or might be a dupe of bug 144101.

Maybe. But almost always there will be a bugtask for the same project
this branch belongs to, and you should use that tasks's importance. In
the other cases it would be acceptable to leave it grey.

This might have a negative performance impact. It's certainly worth trying out, though.

There might be many bugs with different importances; so we'd be changing from 'existance of a bug-branch link' to 'find the highest importance category for any linked bug'. On batches of 75 we should be able to cope with that though.
