I thought we were going to break up the listing by project. What
happened to that plan?

Nothing happened, so now I'm moving forward to the next most usable way of displaying that listing :)

The issue for me is what to do in edge cases.

Breaking up by user is relatively easy if the user is a "normal developer" who
works on a (small) number of projects.

What about teams like vcs-imports?
What about a really active packager?
What about someone who does some packing, but not a lot?
...

As discussed before, vcs-imports is a pathological case. The current
vcs-imports code page isn't useful, changing to a wildly different
layout will not make it less useful.

This is an interesting case.

I think it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to collapse all of the
packages with only one branch into a single "Ubuntu" group.

I'm not sure how this would affect the plan to break things up by
project & package.

This bug, however, is about sorting by date. I agree that this is
definitely an incremental improvement over what we have now.

Fixed in RF 8549.
