Showing the number of affected users
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009Gavin just landed a very welcome branch to show the number of users affected by a bug on the bug page (bug 494040). You can also sort a list by the number of users affected, and doing this shows that two other popular bugs are related: provide a list of bugs affecting a user (283539) and show the number of affected users in a bug list (271332).
Needless to say, the bugs that affect the most users aren’t always the ones that should be fixed first. But it’s useful data, and more useful now that it’s easily available.
You’ll be able to use this after the release of Launchpad 3.1.12 on Wednesday the 16th December or on Edge right away.
