The three QA pages parsed by the script contain a total of 482 bugs. In contrast, there are 1948 open bugs against wnpp. Merely select()ing the list of bugs takes significantly longer than an entire wnpp-alert invocation; we'd then need to call status() for each of the bugs in order to determine whether the subject started with O, RFA or RFH.
