Bug#256075: List the age of the last bug activity in the summary
Package: debbugs
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice if debbugs showed how long a bug has been idle on the
main page. For instance,
* #5738294: hypernet method for apt
Package: apt; Reported By: Zaphod Beeblebrox <prez@gal.gov>;
22 years and 1 day old; 20 years and 144 days idle.
Presumably the "idle time" would track how long it's been since the
last message was received at the bug or the last control operation took
place. (or maybe just the time since the last message, as control
operations generally don't add new information) Among other things,
this would make it easy to quickly check whether there are any recent
patches or workarounds for a bug -- especially when it's been reported
multiple times (where currently you have to check all the different bug
pages).
