Here is a similar program which uses popularity-contest data instead of the
status file, in an attempt to filter the bugs to packages you actually use,
and sort them by approximate frequency of use.  I run it like this:

popbugs | w3m -T text/html

A similar idea could be applied to the summarized popcon data, in order to
prioritize RC bugs by package popularity.

Tools like this could be much more flexible and robust if this data were
available in a more parser-friendly format, if anyone feels like extending
the tools.
