In the same spirit, can we try to lower the number bugs with
status 'New' ?

At the last 'Bug Day' we lower that number to 200 (which is far
too high) and we are now at 205. I think it sends a bad message
to people reporting bugs.

A simple way to lower that number will be to never leave a bug in
status 'New' when we file one or we answer to one.

For the first one a useful bookmark can be:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bugs?field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.bug_reporter=<your lp ID here>

and for the later:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bugs?field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.bug_commenter=<your lp ID here>

Clearing these lists should be easy either by setting the status
and importance field (if you reported or commented on a bug you
should know what status it is really).

Additional bonus for assigning tags :)
