I think this idea has come up before, the problem is knowing how to 
distinguish the sky is falling type bugs from other race bugs we know 
about. Thinking out loud it could be severity of the bug in launchpad 
but we have a lot of high/critical race bugs that have been around for a 
long time and they are obviously not breaking the world. We could tag 
bugs (I'm assuming I could get bug tags from the launchpad API) but we'd 
have to be pretty strict about not abusing the tag just to get attention 
on a bug.

Other ideas?
