+I miss a web page with statistics on bugs in packages. It would be great 
+to have a single web page with a list of packages and number of certain 
+bugs on them.
+
+I don't really understand the word "outstanding" here?
+I would have got categories like critical/release-blockers, normal, 
+enhancement/wish.
+Here is an example:
+mgaonline (critical) *#1230 #4002* (normal) _#12_ (wish) #23 #231

+This is already done.

+What do you mean exactly and why you need this?
+> -Package in backports for a stable release with newer version in cauldron
+We don't really need it now, since there are no back-ports. And I 
+personally would wait for stable 2 then back-ports for 1.

+It's an interesting idea, but I think it's much simpler to make it 
+currently in a modular way. Later someone can try to join these 
+building-bricks.
