That's why new bugs are assigned only once a month, though. Players
will have one month to get their bugs fixed, and doing it faster will
not help their score. A hasty NMU will just increase the chance of
the bug being reopened (or otherwise contested), which is bad for their
score.
(Hmm, I wonder if they system should treat delayed NMUs the same way
it treats pending tags, to avoid hasty uploads on the 31st.)
