IANDD but I'd prefer Urgency-Serial with, for example:
new feature = +1
whishlist bug fixed = +1
normal bug fixed = +5
important bug fixed = +10
grave bug fixed = +50
security hole fixed = +100
This could be easily incremented automatically and would
have no drawbacks mentioned in this tread.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
