Alright, that does seem to work, you have offered a great idea I have
seen the other bug that you posted and this could offer a change at how
we look at bugs, but I wonder if the new bugs are at the top what about
the critical ones. I think we might have to think of a new way like
putting all the new bugs in a separate page and the direct the traffic
of new bugs there, keeping the critical ones in on a separate page so
developers can keep track of both at the same time

What do you think about that? I will post this idea to the mailing list
talking about this and see how they respond. Thanks again for your idea

Vikram
