Customisable columns for bug listings
The information we present in lists of bugs, whether in bug search results or standard bug listing pages, is fixed and was chosen a long time ago. It has not kept pace with the data stored by the bug tracker nor with the different ways in which people want to use Launchpad to track bugs.
Similarly, Launchpad provides minimal choice in how bug listings are ordered.
As a general principle, Launchpad should give people access to their data in the ways that suit them. In that spirit, we should make it easy to customise the information presented on bug listings pages and the order in which that information is shown.

Rationale
This is a much requested feature and has been requested by our stakeholders. We are working on it now because it is a relatively small project but will give a great deal of benefit both to stakeholders and general users of Launchpad's bug tracker.
Customisable columns for bug listings will help people be more productive when using the bug tracker.
Stakeholders
Steve Magoun, who represents Canonical's OEM Solutions group, requested this feature. The QA CoP will find this particularly useful.
