Bug prioritization through web statistics

["sagiea@bgu.ac.il" <sagiea@bgu.ac.il>]

Hello,

Is the Debian bug tracking system making use of bug report page-hit
data ?

Though this would require web server data aggregation, periodic analysis
of bug report page trends could provide valuable insight for bugs which
are quickly starting to affect many people.

For example the netbase ipv6 java related bug report page [1] has
probable been receiving more attention recently. Unique visitor count /
page hits could then be used to mark it is a candidate for high
priority. A bit like doing epidemiology with Google medicine related
query statistics.
