I think these two reports may have exposed a serious problem with
handling QA with the qa-needstesting tag. When we had a bunch of bugs
with qa-needstesting, it didn't surprise me that the above reports
showed that deployment is blocked on untested bugs. However, we now
only have one bug with qa-needstesting, and the reports for both
stable and db-stable show revisions that have no qa tags at all. Since
the reports only show the oldest revision that hasn't been QA'ed, I
have no idea if this is just a couple of unusual bugs, or if there are
a bunch that we have missed.
