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.

In other news, the Icebox keeps growing, which should keep us cool and

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!
