Launchpad helps you to appraise a bug by giving you a calculated measure — called bug heat — of its likely significance. You can see bug heat in bug listings, and also on individual bug pages, as a number next to a flame icon.
Here's how Launchpad calculates the bug heat score:
| Attribute | Calculation |
|---|---|
| Private | Adds 150 points |
| Security issue | Adds 250 points |
| Duplicates | Adds 6 points per duplicate bug |
| Affected users | Adds 4 points per affected user |
| Subscribers (incl. subscribers to duplicates) | Adds 2 points per subscriber |
