I propose to alter the weekly roundup-summary email by breaking down the 'open' category in the header issue summary into the subcategories 'enhancements' and 'bugs'. The idea is that you get what you measure, and if we see how many bugs we are fixing versus enhancements we are committing, we might get a few more bugs fixed.
The attached patch treats 'enhancment' and 'performance' as enhancements (yes, I know performance issues can be bugs, but ones that really are bugs tend to get fixed quickly), and everything else (including uncategorized) as bugs.
I'm sure we can make some progress on our bug count just by categorizing uncategorized issues, but that will give us a better idea of how many unfixed bugs we really have, which I think is useful info.
