That's fair enough though. We need to be able to access the info. Imagine
if you were told that you weren't allowed to get the full list of bugs filed
against LP, except by individually querying the bugs filed against it by
every LP user in turn. Silly, I know, but we need this information.

That would probably cause more load anyway, as we do the loops to extract
the full list for display elsewhere.

That we can work on. We have plans for LP external tools to help with things
like this. Some of the knowledge of that can feed back in to LP, and help
to design pages that show the user the most relevant things to them.

Thanks,
