Umm... I think because once upon a time I was using that report as an
example for someone so I included medusa to demonstrate how the script
could be used. I'll drop that out of there now.

It is fairly hard to do this for arbitrary groupings of products in a
programatic fashion. However, any grouping of arbitrary products that
you want to tell me in advance [like, librsvg+eel+nautilus] I can easily
incorporate in the script. In fact, that combo is what you'll get right
now if you follow that link. Any other groupings/names you need, let me
know.

OK. See:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/product-mustfix-report.cgi?product=Nautilus

Note that there are still columns for 'enhancement' and 'normal' but
they are actually ignored by the report.

I can arbitrarily designate all blocker/critical bugs as High priority,
if that would work better for you, and then we can drop out
blocker/criticals that aren't reproduceable or in some other way not
High.

Sounds good. Please keep me in the loop if you do add any milestones in
this way; I'll want not to trample on them if/when you do choose to use
them.

OK, I can mass-mark those as triaged, though I'd really like to find
some time to check them out for myself. 

Note that there are 432 bugs marked future and an additional 900+ marked
'old'. John and I were discussing- how much would it hurt if we mass
closed the 'old' bugs that have not been touched in > 4 months, and said
'please reopen if you feel this still applies to 1.1.x?' The
perfectionist in me hates to possibly discard useful bug reports in
there, but the pragmatist in me says that if they really are useful
they'll get reported again. It's your product; you have to make the
final call here.

Basically, the product-mustfix-report that I posted above should do this
pretty well, and give you the other breakdowns you've asked for. 

Let me know if there is anything else I can do when I wake up in the
morning-
