That's a good point, and one thing we're already doing to address that
is to initially expand only the BPs that have TODO/INPROGRESS/BLOCKED
work-items assigned to that person.  However, if a BP has one TODO item
and 10 DONE, it will be expanded and those DONE items will unnecessarily
clutter the table.  We could replace them all with a dummy row saying
"10 more work items DONE in this BP" or something to that effect. If we
do that we might not be able to allow its expansion to see all the DONE
WIs, though.

Cheers,
