It is difficult to "see" activity on
bugzilla, a la Recentchanges. (I
guess if you are subscribed to wikibugs-l you see everything...) for
example there is no straightforward way (ie link from the mainpage) to
see the most recently entered bugs, or the most recently closed bugs,
or the highest priority still-open bugs. These are probably fairly
straightforward reports -- maybe it would be good to link them on the
bugzilla front page?
I tried subscribing to wikibugs-l for a while, but there was too much
noise: state changes, CC list changes, comments on bugs that I don't care
about (without proper context), etc. I have a saved search to show new
bugs, but there's no way to tell which ones I've read and what my backlog
is. I also have saved searches for particularly important extensions that
I maintain (OggHandler and CentralAuth), but it's easy to forget to look
at them for a while. So there's room for some software improvement there.

I found using a RSS reader subscribed to gmane feed of wikibugs-l allows
a easy and quick overview of what's new etc. while avoiding all the
noise for things I don't care about.
