Does popcon not already provide a way to order packages based on importance? rc-alert has both options for sorting bugs by both local & global popcon score. If not, what criteria would you suggest we use to prioritise RC bugs? Should we change bts.turmzimmer.net to use that for ordering? -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
