Bug heat is one of the stories under development by the Launchpad Bugs team for what is being called Launchpad v4.0.

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
