I'll miss the numbers for active reviews. Bugs pages load the numbers
async, which I suppose is a lot of work to support for Code pages.

The intent of the numbers was to imply vitality and activity. Vitality
and activity temporarily had a spark line to show commits into the
development focus branch, but the UI/implementation never worked as
expected so it was removed. The activity/vitality problem is universal
to all aspects of a project--we need a solution that can be applied to
code, bugs, blueprints, answers, translations, and release planning.

The "N active review" link is a poor call to action. The page must
inform the user that contributors need help, maybe the from the user.
