 I added a "delta" column which shows how many additional tickets were
 closed since the previous period. April is our record so far, with a
 record of 41 tickets closed in less than 30 days, more than one ticket
 per day!
 
+I also added a "new" column that shows how many new tickets, in total,
+were created in the period. And the "spill" is the difference between
+the two. If positive, we're winning the ticket game, if negative,
+we're losing ground and more tickets are being created than we are
+closing. Overall, we're slightly behind (-2), but that's only because
+of the epic month of April.
+
+And while I'm here, I went crazy with Emacs' `orgtbl-mode` and added
+totals and averages.

-breezy during the northern hemisphere summer that's coming up, but at
+breezy during the northern hemisphere summer that's coming up. ;) At
 least the Backlog is not growing too wildly, and the actual current
 queue (Next/Doing) is pretty reasonable. So things seem to be under
 control, but the new hiring process is taking significant time so this
 might upset our roadmap a little.
 
+Regardless of those numbers: don't hesitate to make new tickets!
