The block can have the benefit of goading the maintainer into maintaining it. Prestige points for a small issue queue. One problem I see is the "Oldest issue" instead of the "Oldest bug report" and "Oldest support request". The age of a task or a feature request shouldn't be viewed negatively. An issue could be used simply to track other issues or could be used to provide notes to remember and these could be old by nature.
Agreed on all counts. Median figures are MUCH more useful in this regard as they ignore outliers. -mf
