Drupal provides project owners with the ability to follow issues on their projects. Simply go to your My Projects page and you can see an overview of your projects and even grab a RSS feed of the latest issues. But, if you are just a project co-maintainer or a contributor who doesn't actually have access to a project there is no nice and easy place to follow the issues on that project. I used Yahoo Pipes to solve this problem because it outputs RSS, has quick add buttons for sites like My Yahoo and Netvibes, can be added to a page as a badge, and it provides JSON and PHP access.
The image above shows the simple pipe I created. I went to each of the issues pages, grabbed the RSS feed for that issue list, and inserted it to Feed Fetch. I followed that up by using sort to bring the newest issues to the top (you can sort this is any way you like). And, then I output that. I can now view this in a number of different ways and places.
If you want to get fancy you only need to pull in one RSS feed. The variable called projects in the feed URL can be a comma separated list of project nodes.
