Like Jono said, yes, we did discuss this, and did talk about karma,
too.  I think something social will almost certainly be built in at
some point.

The plan currently is to finish an initial implementation this month,
with a simple bug heat calculation and exposing heat in the bugs app
UI.  We will then begin improving the heat calculation in 10.02, based
on feedback from users and taking into account ideas like this that
have been mentioned as likely important.


Cheers,
