I see... But unfortunately it would be difficult to mail the top 10 bugs to this list every month. The first problem is technical: I don't have the time to set up such a thing. The second problem is related to the information that would be sent: some bugs have a summary (title) that is not very easy to understand, so sending that to the list would not always be sufficient.
By the way, I just updated the page containing the links to some Bugzilla queries and I added three new links that allow you to find the list of open bugs that are not enhancements (so you only get the "real" bugs). Try it from: http://www.gimp.org/devel_ver.html
