Bug Description

The new tags cloud looks nice for projects with a small number of tags, but when there are many tags, most of them of equal weight, it isn't very useful. We should go back to displaying only official tags and a few popular unofficial ones (it may be necessary to provide the complete cloud on a different page.

I don't think we should worry with unofficial tags, IMHO. The cloud should just be official and limited to the top tags. We should still be able to click through and see a list of all tags used, though.

I would like to get something of a fix for this by release, but it's not a blocker.

It makes the portlet quite lengthy for Ubuntu, https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs, which makes it rather significantly less useful than it was.

The bug tags portlet for Ubuntu is now showing the official bug tags but these are preceded by tags that start with a number for example 0.9.16. I believe this is because these are the least popular tags in alphabetical order. The attached patch should resolved the issue.
