Switch b.android.com to Grid view, then change the Rows setting from none to 
"Stars", then click update.

Top starred bug is WPA2-Enterprise with EAP extensions, apps on SD is number 2 
:)

Subject: [android-discuss] Re: Why Google Android is open source?

Just out of curiosity, how do you get the bugtracker to sort by stars? (Or, 
more to the point, where's that list? I'm wondering what else is sitting on it.)

(And if its 'apps on sd', as you imply, I haven't seen any patches that have 
associated security and UI pieces. symlinks aren't a patch, they're a hack :) 
.. That is one where, like multitouch, they said "propose it and we'll discuss 
it; code it and we'll review it; test it and we'll include it". And ISTR San 
spelled out most of the requirements - I'm sure we can get a new/updated list 
in the process of 'propose it' if the SNR is decent enough.)

I would have to say given that the 6th most starred issue in the
Google Android's bug database had a perfectly working patch submitted
from the community and it's been stated that it won't possibly be
included even in eclair, Android isn't what most of us think of when
we think of an open source project.

I just hope the attitude of "stop asking for something and submit a
patch" will stop. Patch or no, it doesn't matter. There's no community
involvement at the platform level.

I think it's only a matter of time as Google ignores the Apps on SD
card feature until a different Android repository becomes the leading
Android distribution. This could have a dire impact on the entire
ecosystem with diverging versions of the platform and incompatible
SDKs. I really didn't think so before, thinking that the G1 was just a
rushed product and nobody communicated enough to determine that 256MB
ROM doesn't cut it. But given that every phone announced except the
galaxy has 512MB or less ROM, it seems nobody cares.
