Bug Description
Martin Pool writes: "I seem to often be looking for bugs I found the other day, or that someone else mentioned. I have 490 subscribed bugs so that does not work very well as a shortlist.
"It would be nice if Launchpad had a 'recently viewed' list of bugs, per person, to help me remember what that bug was that seemed important on Friday.
"I use multiple machines so browser history is not a good substitute, and it doesn't show all the fields of the bug..."
Implementing this would diverge from our usual policy of altering the Launchpad database only on form submissions. We would be recording bug reports that someone visited, even if they didn't make any changes there.

This would also be something quite different to other systems which generally depend on the browser to do their storage - e.g. none of gmail, facebook, twitter, sourceforge have a in-app history feature.
Browsers are now offering online synchronisation of bookmarks and other metadata, so I think this is something we can reasonably push back to browsers.
