It's not that inconvenient to looks at 500 reports at a time is it?
This gives you just over 3 pages to look at, for the current open normal
bugs, after ~ 3 years of tracking bugs.

Fetching 500 bugs uses ~ 10% of the real memory on the server.
Maybe I'm overly cautious, but that seems about the right limit to me.
The machine doesn't have much memory, and a lot is used up running
spamassassin, mailman, etc.
