Good idea. I don't think this would work as 'just another sort' of the
parts list page <http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptlist.cgi>. I'd rather
have a "most in need of attention" page, with the following parameters:
1. Exclude all certified files.
2. Sort the files by date of last action, with the oldest listed first.
Things I'm not sure about:
Should Held files be included or not? Once a file is Held, it needs
attention from its author, not from reviewers. More importantly, I'm
guessing Held files would tend to show up at the top of the list, making
it hard for people to come in and pick off a file they can work on (ie,
review).
Should file dependencies be accounted for in the sort? That is, should
a subfile appear higher in the list than its parent part?

This has been discussed before, but it seems like fixes tend to go
through the Tracker fairly fast anyway. I'm guessing people can figure
out how to efficiently review changed parts.

I (generally) agree. Also, if someone finds a flaw in a fixed part,
they should feel free to fix the flaw and resubmit the file.
Frequently, the 'author' of a fix is not the file's original author, and
doesn't feel much ownership of the part in question.
That's not to say people should go wild, and make changes to updated
files willy-nilly.

Ah, the burden of command. How heavily it weighs on one's shoulders.
Especially when those pesky reviewers push in my 'admin inbox' past 100
files. ;)
