The number of times a bug *page* is requested sounds like another good
source to establish which bugs are the most interesting ones.

Reading your mail made me realize I very often want to reload a bug page
mentioned recently (days/weeks) and my browser history reflects only
*my* usage (sometimes people are talking about bugs I've never visited
yet). In practice, I'm often interested in finding bugs people have
recently commented on or even have been referred to in IRC discussions
(and various bots query the bug pages so that will be taken into
account).

Just my 2 cents,
