Okie - I've had a quick attempt at this. Initial patch attached. This one doesn't quite work.
And there is still a lot of debugging stuff in there.
[ [!inline pages="define(~bugs, bugs/* and ! */Discussion) and define(~openbugs,~bugs and !link(done)) and define(~readybugs,~openbugs and !link(~openbugs)) and ~readybugs" archive="yes"]]
