I did wonder about suggesting: A B C wishlist: 1 1 1 minor: 2 3 4 normal: 4 9 16 important: 8 27 64 serious: 16 81 256 grave: 32 243 1024 critical: 64 729 4096 ie one normal bug is worth 2 (or 3, or 4) minor bugs, and so on.An immediately attractive idea would be the value of one "critical" bug - in which case, suggestion "B" might be better than A. Then perhaps a linear spacing: red: 729 *4/4 (80+ normal bugs) yellow: 729*3/4 (60+ normal bugs) green: 729*2/4 (40+ normal bugs) blue: 729*1/4 (20+ normal bugs) but I haven't actually tried it to see if it would work.
Well, it sounds reasonable to go with B because I have this additional
feature that bugs in dependent packages are weighted three times higher
than those that are only suggested. So a grave bug in a dependent
package would score the same as a critical bug in a suggested package
and we get color red for both cases.
Kind regards
Andreas.
