What if we create a partial-bug-wranglers mail alias, write a cron job to calculate statistics from from the bug-wranglers queue and send mails to that alias according to various rules eg. to send mail when the queue passed a limit of bugs eg. 100 or 200 unassigned, or statistics about how many bugs that were reported before more than a week are still in the queue. This way, people like me, who are willing to do partial bug-wrangling, they just add themselves in the alias and get activated only when the queue is huge or there are many old bugs around. The mails could work well as a reminder and we avoid the huge bug-wranlgers mail traffic when we monitor them in bugzie. I don't have time now, to implement any of this, I don't know even if it's a good idea, but if you like it, I could try to write a working script in some weeks (thanks to Jeremy(darkside) for sho= wing me the pybugz magic and Christian(idl0r) for the curl magic).
