Hi! 
I think this sounds like a very excellent idea. Not exactly my cup of development, but I would really use it if available. :-D

Cheers
Lars

A more advanced version would of course offer buttons for adding and removing items from the table, sorting by different columns, refresh at certain intervals, etc. (and maybe encode the bug ids in the URL, to make it bookmarkable)?

> If one wants to be really, *really* cool, of course it would allow tracking and mixing bugs from SF.net trackers, Trac, Bugzilla, Google Code, Mantis, github... but now I am getting really wild... ;)
