Comment 11 for bug 557432

Deryck and I have discussed this and I think we've narrowed the solution space a bit:

1. No shotgun, we're keen on having a single list of bugs in that place. Whatever improvement we choose it has to be an improvement to this list.
2. Heat is not bad already for many projects, and can only improve. It would be a shame to abandon it for something you can easily find using the filters or advanced search, even if it's proving popular (like -importance -datecreated and -date_last_updated).

Deryck suggested finding a way to bring more recently active bugs into the list. One way to do that might be by tweaking the heat formula itself. A different option would be to leave heat as is for now, and make the list displayed on the bugs homepage display recently active bugs, but taking heat to into consideration).
