Please file a bug about it at https://launchpad.net/harvest/+filebug and
please elaborate a bit on how you'd like the sorting to work.

What do you mean when you say "[it] should separate more"? Do you feel
the values in the scoring should be different? I'd much prefer if we had
a sane set of defaults instead of calculating different scores for
everybody.

You can also file a bug at https://launchpad.net/harvest-data/+filebug
about it.

I personally find that these categories are not very telling.
High-target packages like linux or ubiquity will draw a lot of
attention. More telling than that are probably things like "50% of bugs
forwarded upstream", etc.

We could discuss it on the bugsquad list to find out how to create the
best possible metrics.

Can you follow up on https://bugs.launchpad.net/harvest/+bug/247645 with
your ideas?

Thanks for the flowers. I know that there's a lot more potential in
harvest and advice like yours (and patches!!!) are truly helpful.

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
