I don't think it's the same as the links block. This would be more automated. Sort of like a sticky tag, except you want something that all maintainers have access to. So it could sort first by "flag" (or whatever gets used) and then by timestamp. If nothing is flagged, you get what you have now. If there are some issues that are getting duped a lot or for some other reason the maintainer really wants you to see, you flag them and they show up first in that block.
Just display the x issues that users *flagged* recently. :)
(note, not based on amount of flags, but most recent flags)

This points out a problem with the idea. I'd like it to be the maintainer that flags the issues to go there. So that makes it more complex because you not only have to look at the flag but at who flagged it. Unless we just go on an honor system that no one but the maintainer should use a particular flag. Dunno how well that would work. Probably not well, I think.
