But tweaking the tracker to improve the way we *interact* with
potential contributors may get more developers in the long run, as
well as closing more issues. Currently, if a bug doesn't get responded
to immediately by people monitoring the bugs list, then there's no
easy way to go back and query "hey, are there any bugs nobody has even
looked at yet?". All this discussion is about is acknowledging that
that is something we should try to keep under control by listing them
in the weekly summary and by making them easy to look up.

Cheers,
Nick.
