One important metric we currently neglect is the date of the oldest bug 
or pull request. If we work on improving that with each release, we give 
a submitter confidence that their bug will be resolved in reasonable 
time. A simple policy like "address the oldest 3 bugzilla entries in 
each release" would be very healthy.
