Well, I did not jump into this discussion as I do not have a clear point of view on this topic. On one hand I see the benefit of having a list of prioritized bugs. On the other hand there were already such activities in the past (like the Target trackers described by Adam, or BugZappers with their Triage meetings) which disappeared over the time as ratio of the benefit to effort needed to maintain such a list was very low. Just for an information: on Fedora we have every week created approx. 400 - 500 new bugs. I can not imagine doing review of such an amount of bugs on (bi-)weekly basic. Blocker bug meeting typically takes 2-3 hours every week and the amount of proposed blockers is typically less than 10. Even on the Blocker bug meetings I see the need to check/consult an issue with a representative of a WG/SIG or a maintainer to fully understand what is really going on in the bug. With the amount of bugs Fedora receives I can not imagine doing the review without representatives from WGs and SIGs, just because of expertise needed to make a qualify decision. As such, the cost to have such a list of prioritized bugs is quite high and the benefit is questionable due to lack of enforcement.
