Dear Maintainer,

Currently, only bug number is shown. Sure we can see *relatively* how a bug has
aged, but there is no clear clue. People can and have a vague perception of age
by bug numbers, though what is "present" or "recent" also changes with time.
OTOH, a time of creation or last reply is immediately clear and precise.

Are you aware of the tooltip that appears if you click in the severity
/ tags area of each bug listing? (i.e. for this bug in the "[n|  |  ]"
block.)

Regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

TIL, thanks. Though I'd argue it's not *immediately* visible ;) Both
representation and its own discoverability (clever to use the click event of a
link styled element, btw). Necessity of this information being directly in the
primary view (i.e. not in a tooltip), is another question, I guess.

If you want to see all of that information (age, date, etc), click
"toggle all extra information" and it will show up. [We elide it by
default to show more bugs in a single screen.]

There's an argument that the toggle extra information should be more
visible (it really belongs under a hamburger menu somewhere) but that's
a different issue.
