The "Last Modified" field should probably omitted. The fact that "Moved to
Next CF" changes this date is unhelpful. I'd much rather replace it with a
"last patch provided" date, or, better, an "days since" calculation
instead. Having the system record the email addresses that replied to the
thread instead of strictly looking at people who interact with the
commitfest application would probably also be useful information for
commitfest people looking to see where limited attention would be best
spent.
