This takes ages to download via a modem. It would be nice if the BTS automatically split these lists into subsections if they exceeded a certain size. I personally like to wander the buglist looking for bugs I could help fix, and I don't bother with the top half of the list on the basis that I want to give the package maintainer a chance to handle the bug. So all I want is the last part of the list, and a simple page giving a set of choices: * most recent NNN bugs * next most recent * ... * oldest bugs * the whole list (1.5MB) Peter Maydell
