Josh, I had brought this up quite a while ago already. Since then I am subscribed to the trac's ML, but so far - as you can see - I haven't yet come around to code anything. ;-(
(Obviously the issue hasn't yet surpassed my suffering threshold…)

But I really think it would be best to integrate it at trac level, instead of letting every maintainer her/himself query trac's current database and run Eric's script. Too much redundant traffic.
When I saw his post popping up in my inbox I cheered, because I thought it's the long-awaited trac-integrated feature...
I wish Eric had known about this idea, perhaps he would have avoided to code that much perl and instead had dived into coding that trac-plugin. :-)
