I tend to work from a mixture of sources including recent posts to the pkg-rust-maintainers mailing list (which receives all posts to rust team bug reports) and the udd bugs list for the team, I do look at older bugs but I can only action so many. Clogging up my personal inbox and the debian-rust list isn't going to change that.

It might be helpful to be able to see which bugreports have not been
lost, e.g. by tagging as confirmed or pending.

I have now trawled through all Rust packages that I maintain, and
annotated the bugreports affecting them. I will try consistently do
that from now on.

I don't see how it is sensible to rank those bugreports - every
bugreport requires maintenance of at least one patch, regardless of how
"important" the change is from a user standpoint. With the "affects"
annotation you get a glimpse of the burden the issue is causing, but
only the tip of the iceberg: I also work on ~40 packages with binaries
which are not yet in Debian, and the annotation does not show how often
the patches need maintenance.
