The current page is said to generate one XML request per bug listed on
the page for each request.  From my experience trying to remove bugs
from that page yesterday(?) (through clicking on "remove" buttons) I
have the impression that it's true: Du to page reload times the site in
it's current form is unusable in the very sense of the word.

Ideas I have on a rather simple rewrite:

 - Split the bugday website into two pages:
   - Page "Open bugs" showing
     - open bugday-keyworded bugs (with date of the latest bugday)
       in randomized order
   - Page "Closed bugs" showing
     - closed bugday-keyworded bugs (with date of the latest bugday)
       in some sorted order
     - a ranking with closed bugs per participant
       (as that may not be the assignee such information could
       maybe be encoding into the status whiteboard, somewhere
       we can query it from easily if whiteboard fits for that)

 - Do one search request to bugzilla internally, only.
   Should be possible as we're now asking bugzilla for the list
   of bugs instead of asking for details on a list we pass in.

 - Simple caching of bugzilla requests for 10 seconds or so.
   Should not hurt the bugday experience much and reduce load
   further.

I could imagine that an ugly prototype with rough-edges of that could
take two days in plain Python.  At the moment I cannot say when and if I
have these two days, but maybe someone else with time is fire and flame
for it by now?
