Good point. There's little chance that a human could reconcile the
difference between 8388 and the counts in the portlet.

More specifically, the wording should be clear that the smaller
reports are security/backport bugs.

This should be made clearer by Brad's work on release management.

My 'seriesbugsonly' proposal would address this.

We do now say 'series targeted bugs' in those portlets, so this is kindof fixed, but I think the root issue - the model - is very much not fixed, and am keeping this open as a result.

I don't think this is a duplicate. I do think this was properly fixed, however, by using the term "Series-targeted bugs".

Fair enough, have unduped and marked fixed.
