Bug heat is one of the stories under development by the Bugs team for what is being called Launchpad v 4.0.

UDS Notes
What follows is the notes Deryck has from discussions at UDS (unedited, except for wiki-fying).
See Brian's algorithm for heat/gravity.
- Show heat indicator in bug lists, bug page
- Also show number of affected users
- These two are different and shouldn't be conflated
Issues:
- Number of affected users should follow when a bug is duped
- Last modified time should be considered
- Comment time should be considered
- How do you get bugs off the list (based on importance? based on something else? Or never?)
After working out algorithm --
- get bugs and ask QA if the algorithm will work for them
- work from the output, rather than trying to get too much input
Plans
3.1.12
- Design algorithm for calculating heat
- Get feedback from stake holders here
3.2.1
- Risky bits of bug heat done early
- script to calculate bug heat
- install as cron to test early
- Week 3 sprint show heat across LP
- Show on bug page
- Show on bug listings
- Use in search
Draw any connections between this and Bug Q&A
3.2.2
- Consider bug heat done
- Any remaining bits landed week 1
- Polish based on stake-holder feedback rest of cycle
- Heavy QA to see how heat algorithm holds up over the cycle
- Likely updates during cycle due to testing/feedback
Open Questions
- Need to get a list of bugs for the feature tagged story-bug-heat
- Need to get a list of all heat-related bugs tagged
