Bug Description

Colin Watson in <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-October/026733.html>:

"No matter what the size, though, I find that the thing I really miss from +packagebugs is some indicator of the rate of change. A package with 100 bugs but no new ones for the last year is much less interesting than a package with 20 bugs 15 of which were filed in the last week."

An example of the page in question: <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/+packagebugs>

One way of fixing this would be to have a short sparkline of the past month's values to the left of each bug count.

A nice example of sparklines in a data table: <http://www.bella-consults.com/sueddeutsche>

Another thing we could use is some function on heat in the packages - heat includes a decay function so many old bugs will have less heat than the same number of newer bugs. [assuming all the factors driving heat are equivalent]
