Subject: Bug database: ideas and volunteers wanted

The bug database at the sourceforge site lacks all but the most
rudimentary queries, as people on this list have noted. I have recently
learned that we can easily get a dump of the bug database in xml format.
Does anyone out there have any bright ideas as to what we might do with
an exported xml version of the database?
I would love to make more general queries available on the web, but I'm
not sure what we can do within the limitations of the Sourceforge web
services. Also, as much as I'd love to have better access to the bug
database, I'm not interested in spending a lot of time writing code to
do it. Ideas and volunteers are wanted.

P.S. Of course, what I would really like to see is people working on bug
*fixing*, myself included.
